After reading the article \u2018Father seeks study exemption for son\u2019 (24 Aug 15, SCMP), write a letter to the editor to express your view towards the father\u2019s decision to seek study exemption from mainstream schools for his son.\u00a0 State your view and support your view with three reasons.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dear Editor<\/p>\n I am writing in response to the article titled \u2018Father seeks study exemption for son\u2019 dated August 24, 2015.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is reported that the father of an 11-year-old boy, Nathan Lee, is so frustrated with Hong Kong\u2019s education system that he has applied for exempting Nathan from enrolment in the mainstream school.\u00a0 It is known that Nathan has been studying at the Hong Kong Memory Study Association for one month and he and his father agreed that if would be preferable to attend classes there at this stage.\u00a0 Personally I support Nathan and his father\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First of all, not every student can benefit from mainstream school.\u00a0 To start off, I would like to state the purpose of receiving education.\u00a0 Education is a process in which students acquire knowledge, experience, skills and right attitude.\u00a0 It makes an individual civilized, refined, cultured and educated.\u00a0 Education is important because it is the key to solving various problems in life.\u00a0 Nathan is still an adolescent and he definitely needs education for an all-round development.\u00a0 In his case, the mainstream school does not work well for him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I think students should be educated through the courses that suit them best.\u00a0 It is known that Nathan enjoys learning in the private education centre and even describes their program as \u2018fun and flexible\u2019.\u00a0 Nathan likes the courses in the centre which are customized for him.\u00a0 He thinks that learning is meant to be a fun process to gain knowledge.\u00a0 Nathan is engrossed in the learning method used in the centre.\u00a0 Moreover, Nathan\u2019s father willingly supports his child\u2019s education financially as to get what works best for him.\u00a0 I do not think an absurd parent would pay for something bad for his own child, right?\u00a0 That is why I think Nathan\u2019s application should be accepted.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next, many developed countries already have a policy for parents to have the right to choose different schooling methods for their children.\u00a0 It is shown that these countries realize that mainstream schools do not work well for every child.\u00a0 Indeed, they put in action and provide a few more choices for students to get education.\u00a0 In the United States, homeschooling has also become more and more common nowadays as students get to select the syllabus that works the best for them.\u00a0 More importantly, it provides flexibility for students to add activities of their own, which helps to develop their potential.\u00a0 I think it is also time for our government to review our mainstream school system thoroughly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In conclusion, I think that Nathan should be exempted from studying mainstream schools based on the above reasons.<\/p>\n Yours faithfully<\/p>\n Chris Wong<\/p>\n Chris Wong<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After reading the article \u2018Father seeks study exemption for son\u2019 (24 Aug 15, SCMP), write a letter
