...good reasons. There are advocates on both sides of this educational issue, it is important to understand why some parents choose to home-school their children. Although both can provide a quality education to its students, a student can learn in a social environment therefore leading to his/her overall development. One of the many reasons that home school parents feel passionate about home schooling is their religious beliefs. Since religion is no longer permitted in the public school system, many home-school parents feel that their children have been short-changed in this area. It is their wish to raise their children in an environment that not only allows religion but also embraces it. Having deep religion beliefs, parents who home-school for religious reasons are said to be very passionate people. It is this passion that feeds their children’s educational needs. With the parent in charge, home-schooling can be based solely on religious activities if the parent so chooses. It is also this passion that will allow the parents to teach their children to the best of their abilities. Home-schooling allows the parent to be in charge. Another reason the public school system appears to have allowed a stereotype to be attached to home-schooled children is socialization. This stereotype suggests that home-schooled children are confined rather than social. In truth, home-schooled children are exposed to a mixed age range instead of a classroom based on age only if there are other children...

...Home Schooling is very popular nowadays with an annex of 7-15% a year. There are about two million students performing home based studies. According to Steven, Going to school in United States of America is not a legal mandate. Educating the child is a legal requirement. When parents cogitate that they cannot afford their children going to school, they prefer home schooling then. Home schooling can be paralleled at par to chronic schooling. They can learn as much as they can learn in other schools. It’s beneficial for the parents as well. Parents who home school their parents are more educated as they have a hands on experience in teaching their children ample subjects and the skills to edify their children (Steven Dowshen, 2012) Home Schooling pros are discussed below: Home schooling provides the freedom to tutelage. They have the option to learn what they intend to not what they are forced to study. It is wrong to say that home schooling does not cover all the basics well. Some students can cover the basics at the age of five while some can also cover the basics at the age of 10.It all depends on the age, maturity, mental level and interest level. Home schooling provides physical freedom. Most people who home school their children experience a sense of emancipation as they do not have to follow the time hours of school anymore. Their lives do not revolve around schooling hours, assignments, quizzes, school calendar etc anymore. They can plan their vacations. Visit parks...

...Homeschool Vs. Public School There have been a lot of questions raised whether homeschooling or public schooling is more beneficial for our future generations. There are three popular ways to gain an education, public school, private school and home school. In the past decade homeschooling has grown in America much more than we could estimate, 1.5 million students are now learning at home, that’s a 75% increase from 1999, Parents have become more unsatisfied by the public schooling systems and its effects on their children concerned that their children could be exposed to violence, bullying or even drugs. But the question is, is homeschooling really better than public schooling? Could homeschooling advantages out ways it’s the possibility of affecting children’s social abilities? Could our future generations cease to use the public schooling systems and still succeed in their professional life? What is Homeschooling and how fast is it growing? Homeschooling is defined simply as the "education of school-aged children at home rather than at a school. Homeschools, according to those who have observed or created them, are as diverse as the individuals who choose that educational method. Each year, at least 100,000 students graduate from homeschooling in the United States. The United States government and homeschool advocates agree that homeschooling has been growing at around 7% per annum for the past decade, it is not surprising that homeschooling is gaining...

...many different variables, for example the education of the parents, setting of the school and state regulations just to name a few, to determine whether these result where typical among homeschooled students. Ms. Phillips choose to survey approximately 800 college students at a small Midwestern college whose population included one tenth teens homeschooled at the high school level. The type of research that was performed was a survey that included roughly 55 questions on various topics. The results of this survey concluded that about 8% of the homeschooled college students choose a major in the natural sciences versus 18% of students from traditional school systems. There have been plenty of studies about the effects of home schooling but “no one had investigated the possible correlation between a homeschool education and a student’s choice of major” (Phillips, 2010) which leads me to believe that this study is new research. I...

...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 have to have time management in order to succeed whereas for public school,...

...The first topic I have chosen is “Should regulations for home schools be changed.” I chose this topic because there has been debates for years questioning the effectiveness of children whose parents have chosen to home school them. Excessive budget cuts to educational programs and overcrowded classrooms have led many parents to homeschooling. While many individuals feel that home school hinders students from learning at their grade level which ultimately withdraws social interaction with fellow peers, other individuals feel that home schools provide much needed structure that focuses on the child. The audience for this topic would be parents of school aged children who are thinking of homeschooling their children. The preliminary thesis statement for this topic is “State regulations for home schools should be changed to ensure at-risk children aren’t neglected, students are socially active in the community, and educators have access to adequate funding.” The two sources I plan to use are HSLDA and As Home School Numbers Rise, Regulations Fall an article from The Kansas City Star. The second topic I have chosen is “Should minors who commit violent crimes be tried as adults.” Chose this topic because violent crimes committed by juveniles is on the rise; and many of these crimes are being given a slop on the wrist because of the minors age at the time. Many of these juveniles become repeat offenders because the judicial system has not held them accountable for their actions....

...her. Some friends of the parents told them that they started a home school program, and that they should let their daughter join the program before another year of school starts. So the parents ask their daughter if she want to try home schooling. The girl said she would try homeschooling only if she can go back to public school if she does not like being homeschooled. A couple of months after that, the girl started homeschooling. When you think of Homeschooling, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Do you think of a child being pulled out of public school for bad school environment, such as bullying and negative peer-pressure? Maybe you think of a child with special or personal needs?Or, do you think of a child that would be socially shelter from his/hers peers? For some, these are the first conclusions about homeschoolers, but are any of these conclusions true? That 6 year old girl was me 12 years ago, and I remember the first day I started home schooling, I was quite unsure how is was going to be. I thought that I would not be around kids anymore, and that I would never have a high school graduation. I know that is a lot for a kindergartener to think about, but that was just how I would think A few month after I started home schooling, I started the non-profit home school program, and I was surprise to see so many kids. In fact, there were over 120 students, from...

...Home Schooling: A Real Alternative Kevin Sumrall Research and Writing: ENG 215 Professor Kristen Shelton May 15, 2011 The times in which we live are becoming more competitive than ever before. How well one is prepared to step up and meet that competition is what education is all about. The mainstream opinion would say that the only way to the top is through public or even better; private schools. As most of us are already painfully aware, we all cannot afford private schools for our kids, especially if we have more than one or two children. Homeschooling has been viewed by many as a substandard choice, where many others are coming to realize that it is much better than any other choice they may have. There are as many as 2 million children being home schooled right now with a projected growth of 15 to 20% annually. The very high test scores for homeschoolers versus the public school students is one of the main points on the platform for the benefits of homeschooling. There is an alternative to public and private schools, and its right at home. There was a time, not so very long ago, when parents could send their kids down to the bus stop and never think twice about whether or not they would be safe and cared for and taught correctly all of the same things that they learned when they went to school. The sad truth of the matter is that most parents don’t know half of what their kids are being taught in school today. Most of the time, teachers are allowed to show kids movies...

...The Socialization of Children: Home Schooling Over Public Schooling Every parent who makes a decision to home school can be assured that they are going to hear the dreaded "S" word. What about socialization? Often that's the extent of the question without any major elaboration. It seems to me that there are 3 basic implications in the question: Socialization is necessary. Socialization is good. And finally, to be properly socialized, children must spend large amounts of time with their peers. This paper will go into detail to consider the question of whether home schooling or public schooling provides the most positive socialization for children, and the least negative socialization. This is the primary concern of those who question the soundness of home schooling. Before dealing with these assumptions however, let's first consider one important question: What is socialization? I looked it up in Webster s Collegiate Dictionary Socialize- 1. To place under group or government control; especially, to regulate according to socialist principles. 2. To convert from an antisocial to a social attitude; make friendly, cooperative, or sociable. 3. To convert or adapt to the needs of a social group. 4. To take part in social activities. (1995) The dictionary gives us clear and rigid definitions of socializing yet because of that rigid-ness, it loses some ability to be practically applied to our changing society. Socialization can and has been interpreted in many...

...Home Schooling vs. Traditional Schooling Dominic Harden COM/170 07/07/14 Cathy Smith With society gradually changing, parents may consider different options to meet their child’s educational needs. The technology today provides parents with choices regarding what type of schooling their child will be attending. The parent can have their child attend traditional school or resort to teaching their child at home which is commonly referred to as home schooling. Whether the child attends public school or is schooled in their home there are certain things that apply to each type of schooling. Although homeschooling has its benefits, traditional schooling is set in stone when it comes to things like the curriculum, schedule and school environment. How the child learns is a key factor when determining which type of schooling him or her is going to attend. Depending on the child, one type of schoolings curriculum can benefit the child or hinder their progress. The child will receive the basic skills regardless, whether they are home schooled or attend a public school. These basic skills include things like reading, writing, and math skills. The curriculum of traditional schooling has always been based on the state standards that the school is located in. State required curriculums has the teachers keeping all of their students at the same on the same track for the sake of ease. The traditional schooled student can easily become bored and uninterested because they don’t...
