Money isn’t the only problem that people are facing, but whether or not the students are learning going to school. Does the different type of schools really determine how much the students learn? What are the pros and cons of public schools, private schools and homeschooling? What type of school is the ‘right’ school? According to the Institute of Education Sciences, folks reported having state funded school decision, more or less 25 percent went to a picked government funded school, while 67 percent went to their allocated school while the other 9 percent went to a non-public school. When it comes to how much the students are learning, is the school really the most important factor? Parents are the ones who mainly makes the decision in what schools are better for their child. Usually, private schools are mainly for religious purpose. They are quite strict, but I have Ngo 2 read articles in the newspaper that they have a better teaching system compared to public schools, but it varies for different people. Here in Tucson, public schools are very low ranked compared to other cities in Arizona.

...Olivia Dowling Professor Mark P. Cancellieri English 101 23 September 2014 Homeschooling: The vocational track for homeschoolers. Up until 5th grade I flew through school. I always did the bare minimum and really did not care what the outcome was. I was bullied for keeping to myself and I soon hated school all together. My mom became worried and took my low grades as the school failing to teach me properly and failing to discipline the bullies. She eventually ripped me out of school. We looked at many different options, but she decided on homeschooling me. In many ways, homeschooling is very similar to what Mike Rose describes as the “vocational education track”. After experiencing seven years of homeschooling, I can definitely relate to Rose's opinion on the educational system. Although, after reading through Rose’s essay, I found that his experience got better towards the end and it made him the man he is today. So I agree that the educational system is corrupt at times, but it also has its upsides, which sometimes turn students into exceptional young men and women. There are many different points Rose makes that remind me of the homeschooling system. One of them being, "School can be a tremendously disorienting place." (Rose, p3) Whether you are in actual school or being homeschooled, this is always true. All the school aspects on top of social ones can detrimentally put severe strain on your mental wellbeing. All this pressure placed on students result in poor...

...It seems unfair that you were handed such a poor topic for a persuasive speech as Anit-Homeschooling surely is. It’s kind of hard to be ‘persuasive’ without facts and statistics to back up your (assigned) stance. And, unfortunately (for the sake of your assignment, at least), the only *statistics* and *facts* out there put homeschooling in a decidedly favorable light. What you *will* find are mere opinion pieces arguing against homeschooling. However, keep in mind these articles provide no substantiating evidence to support their “anti-homeschooling” stance. Such articles, unfortunately (for your assignment, at least), are based on mere myths--some of which have been expressed right HERE by some of your responders. To wit: A) quote:“Home schooled people [will] be passed over for someone that has been through a school that has testing standards as well as requirments (sic) and guidlines (sic) for the teachers them selves.” Wrong. Homeschooled students consistently outperform public school students on standardized tests.

...This is my writing experiences and history. I started with creative writing which I never completed and for school and then writing an essay on a subject which I just read a book on for homeschooling. When there was a deadline I always got it finished and as quick as possible and then making sure there is no grammar or spelling mistakes. My biggest weakness is that I procrastinate and will not sometimes finish a project. I will get anything done on time if there is a set deadline but otherwise will not usually get finished. My approach to English assignments is to get an idea, and then get it written or typed down, and then work on the grammar and spelling, and look for any missed punctuation. I spell much better than I did years ago from...

...better? Public school is more effective than homeschooling because it allows children to communicate with each other and guides them in the right direction concerning their grades. As I previously said, there are many factors that should be looked at thoroughly in order to make a final decision on your choice of school. One of those factors would be self-discipline. Self-discipline is the action in which you are able to discipline yourself to complete tasks when needed too without anyone helping you. Self-discipline is sometimes hard to have especially as a child or young adult. It is not something that comes easy; it has to be worked on for some time. In order to succeed at home school, self-discipline is something that must be made. There will be many times that students will have assignments that need to be completed, but there are other things that the student really wants to do. If you do not have self-discipline, then you are not going to be able to accomplish the necessary things needed in order to succeed in home school. Public school is not as much of a challenge because you have an adult there to push you and get you motivated to succeed at all times. Sometimes it takes a little push from someone else to get you in the motivation state that you need. Time management is the act in which you are able to manage all of your time throughout the day. Time management plays a huge factor in the difference between homeschooling and public school. For home schooling, you...

...Home School vs. Public School Please use the style handbook to see how to correctly format your essay. The title should be in the same font as the rest of the essay. Rough Draft When children become of age and it is time for them to start school, many parents question what is best for their child’s education, home schooling or public school. With home schooling and public schooling have their pros and cons, but many parents often question which one is actually better for their child. Though public schools are effective in helping a child develop social skills, home schooling is a more direct and focused on your education. Home schooling can be good for a child in many ways. They have a more direct and focused method of learning because the class size is not as large as a public school class. Children as well as parents are able to have a more flexible schedule because it is up to them to set a schedule that will work out for them time wise. Home school gives parents an opportunity to be flexible. Parents feel that with home school, learning at home is the safest, most secure environment in which their child can learn. It makes sense that children would thrive in the comfort of their own homes, wearing whatever they want, with the restroom and kitchen close by for breaks. With the absence of diversions for home students, they tend to be more focused on the lessons being taught and complete the work they are expected to do. Without having to meet the pace of other students...

...As a parent, we have to make the decision on education for our children. As a parent, a stay at home mother of two, I was recently faced with the important decision of my children’s education. I was not sure if I wanted to homeschool my children or send them through the public school system. I then started talking with other parents that were having the same experiences. Socialism, curriculum, time, requirements, religion, and the child’s personality, these are thoughts that parents’ in today’s society are contemplating when making a decision about their child’s education. Which is the best option, homeschool or a public school environment? In my opinion, it is important to know and recognize your child's strengths and weaknesses as well as your own. My son Hayden, for example, he has not been away from me in four years and I was extremely worried about putting him in school because of the attachment he had to me. I decided to put him into a preschool. It was three days a week, for a few hours in the afternoon. All of the parents stayed the first day. Hayden cried the whole time we were there. From the mouth of my four year old, “I don’t want to be here mommy! I want to stay home with you and Ry!.”. I was heartbroken, I kept thinking, he is not going to adjust, I may have to teach him from home, I have to research the requirements, what type of curriculum, what kind of time and money am I going to invest, and was Hayden still going to develop the social skills that he needed...

...Home School versus Public Education Choosing to send your child to a Public School or Home School is a big decision to make which is why it would probably be best to research the benefits of each option before making any decision. Remember that the choice that you will make in the end must be based on what is best for your child, and also for you. There will always be pros and cons of sending your child to either one the options. One thing that most parents look for is the environment, how well is the environment for the child. Being homeschool parents are assured that their children is in a calm and safe environment every day. Parents and some supporters of homeschooling believe that children succeed better in a safe, comfortable environment that the children are familiar with. It is also believed by parents that the home is the safest, most secure environment where their child could learn well. When a child is home, he or she does not have to deal with peer pressure, that gives the child a chance to focus more on studying. Children do not have to worry about what to wear to school the next day; they are protected from having to fit in with the popular crowd. With homschool, children can enjoy a peaceful and calm atmosphere, not only that, they can also work in their own pace and in their own style. However, supporters of public school are also certain that the same things proves to be true with students who go to public schools. Some parents of public schools believe that...

...Argumentative Essay The function of an argumentative essay is to show that your assertion (opinion, theory, and hypothesis) about some phenomenon or phenomena is correct or more truthful than others'. The art of argumentation is not an easy skill to acquire. Many people might think that if one simply has an opinion, one can argue it successfully, and these folks are always surprised when others don't agree with them because their logic seems so correct. Argumentative writing is the act of forming reasons, making inductions, drawing conclusions, and applying them to the case in discussion; the operation of inferring propositions, not known or admitted as true, from facts or principles known, admitted, or proved to be true. It clearly explains the process of your reasoning from the known or assumed to the unknown. Without doing this you does not have an argument, you have only an assertion, an essay that is just your unsubstantiated opinion. Argumentative essays are often organized in the following manner: 1. They begin with a statement of your assertion, its timeliness, significance, and relevance in relation to some phenomenon. 2. They review critically the literature about that phenomenon. 3. They illustrate how your assertion is "better" (simpler or more explanatory) than others, including improved (i.e., more reliable or valid) methods that you used to accumulate the data (case) to be explained. Finally revise and edit, and be sure to apply the critical process to your...
