Section 1 - Friendly Letter Writing

Dear Aunt and Uncle, While home schooling has advantages like a flexible schedule and close bonds with parents, it may not be best for my cousin due to the challenges of being with him all day and ensuring a complete education. Public school provides socialization opportunities and trained teachers. For these reasons, I do not recommend home schooling for my spoiled cousin who would benefit from structure and learning to get along with others.
