Homeschool vs. Public School David and Bradley, who are neighbors, both wake up in the morning at 7. David gathers his book bag to walk over to the bus and travels to school. However, Bradley walks into his kitchen to begin his school work. How are these circumstances different? David attends a public school whereas Bradley is homeschooled. Which student will receive a better education? Academically, both learning environments give students the chance to achieve higher goals, so they can be successful in a future job. Teachers and parents try their very best to help students along the path to success by challenging them in every area of their life. Challenges of both homeschool and public school consist of offering advanced placement classes and tests that require students to study, as well as setting a requirement of classes that need to be taken in order for students to graduate. Emotionally, students may have a hard time with the challenges because there is a lot of pressure involving studying and test taking to the meet requirements. Required class work may exhaust students and run them down both emotionally and physically. When comparing homeschool to public school, homeschooling is a better alternative for many students. Students enrolled in public school often face situations that can affect their life emotionally, physically, and socially. Throughout the year, students build relationships with teachers and their peers. According to Bridget N. Watts, most of these bonds built up between friends are broken because of trust issues (“Friendships and Trust Issues”). Students in public school are also at risk of being bullied, and they experience high levels of peer pressure because of their appearance and personality. Difficult projects, homework, and tests can influence students because they may feel they are the only ones who struggle. In
