Education is compulsory, schooling is not.
In Britain, the number of children taught by their parents at home rose from 10,000 in 1995 to 50,000 ten years later.
Why do people do it? most say that it is to give their children a better education. Flexible hours allow children to go museums, galleries and other places that childern at school can't get to. If school were only about exam results, home schooling may be seen as good idea. However, school should also prepare us for life in the real, adult world and home schooling doesn't do that so effectively
Author suggest that home schooling is better than ordinary school. He or she doesn't talk about disadvantages, so it excludes topic no. 4. It can't be topic 2 and 3 either, because there are not many tipical structures for the advise/asking texts, such as retorical questions.
