1. In England some children don’t go to school, they choose home education. Most of the parents of such children are teachers but it isn’t so important, as they use online school. The Internet gives them a chance/an opportunity to gain knowledge, test themselves, study/prepare for exams. Different computer programs help them to revise material. There are dozens of training courses on the Internet, children can focus/concentrate on the course they like and keep learning through new courses /that are/ offered by university professors. Nevertheless a lot of teachers think that the greatest disadvantage is that children get used to computers, more and more chat online, play computer games, text friends and seldom meet friends, so to speak, face to face. Scientists are worried by the amount of time schoolchildren spend using their computer/ that schoolchildren spend more time ../, but we can’t do without electronic media nowadays.
