In my opinion, children should not always go to the school nearest to their home. What is important is to receive a good education. For the sake of a good education, a child may need to go to a school that is far away from their home. Parents always tend to protect their children and choose to send them to a nearby school. However, this is not a good attitude to bring up a child in life. Children need to be self-confident, and to feel this emotion, they need to deal with challenges on their own.
