Home School vs. Public School
home schooling vs public schools an Online Outline
Introductory Paragraph
Begin with an interesting quotation related to your opinion about home schooling vs public schools
(You will need a transition here)
- Public school vs. home school has been a great debate for many years. There are many pros and cons to both, my personal opinion is that public school is better for the children.
Even though the parents feel that children learn bad things if they allow the children to go to public school, I feel that children should be allowed to go to public school because children are not confined to their home all the time and the children get a chance to be social and learn how to live everyday life .

Body Paragraph #1
Topic of the body thesis: the parents feel that children learn bad things if they allow the kids to go to public school
- Children feel that they are independent enough to make decisions without consulting their parents when they are in public school.
- Some children get influenced by others' (wrong) behavior, and tend to follow them, forgetting about the teachings given by parents. They tend to rebel, if scolded or stopped for doing something.
Another example that shows that the parents feel that children learn bad things if they allow the kids to go to public school is...
- Peer pressure and bullying are regular affairs at public schools. Non-conformism and innovative thinking are not easily acceptable.
- Children get bullied if they do not want to do what everyone else is doing, or if they do not agree. Parents tend to get more aggressive unhappy children because of this
Body Paragraph #2
Even though the parents feel that children learn bad things if they allow the kids to go to public school, I feel that children should be allowed to go to public school because children are not confined to home and just their parents teachings
- Children should be exposed to life, the reality that they will be living one day.
- Parents should not try

    What Are Cases That Significantly Impacted Public Education Justified?

    Supreme Court have allowed Congress and state legislatures to provide funds to be used by nonpublic schools as long as it is for secular purpose. People who agreed that some of our public money should be used to aid private schools argues that it give parents a freedom of choice for their children. These parents use the free exercise clause of the First Amendment to fight for what they want. The opponents of direct aid to nonpublic schools say that parochial school are from the past and that the government should foster this system with public money. Also they belive that such a practice may create more racial discrimination, and that public schools do not always receive the money that they should. So, if there is an extra available it has to be used to improve the public school…

    Compare And Contrast Homeschooling

    Have you ever wanted to be homeschooled? Most students will go to a public school and may think that being homeschooled is a lot better. Homeschooling is fine but going to a public school may be able to better help students. There are a lot of reasons why going to a public school would be better than being homeschooled. Students that go to a public school are more likely to graduate, have better social skills, and have better jobs. Homeschooling may stop students from ever leaving their home or town. This is because of the students social skills.…

    Tricia Smith Vaughan’s “Not Homeschooling? What’s Your Excuse?” a Critical Response

    Should public, or government, schooling be avoided? In the essay No Home-schooling Vaughn Argues that Homeschooling is the best schooling for children and that government schooling should be avoided. Parents put forth the excuse that they are not smart enough to teach their children. Parents believe that government schooling teaches their children both academics and socialism. “The government schools are not teaching your child Judeo-Christian values; they are going to teach him or her how to survive in a group…” Public schooling in the United States is set up to dumb children down. Homeschooling provides one on one attention to a child, and so they do not have to fight for attention from a teacher in governmental schooling. Public schooling is being used as propaganda changing the way your child may think whereas homeschooling provides your child the opportunity for a parent to teach the values of true freedom and individuality. Children need to be tested for their values instead of their knowledge and this simply cannot be done in government schooling.…

    Rough Draft

    A lot of people choose homeschooling over public school because they belive that kids could get a better education homeschooled than at public school. In a public school, students have to learn at the speed of the other students in the class, not by how much they learn. This slows down how fast the student learns. But in homeschooling, it is a one on one education, where the speed of the subject is based on the individual student, not he whole class. Based on a study by the National Home Education Research Institute, it shows that students that are homeschooled graduate college at a higher rate of 66.7% compared to public school student who graduate at a rate of 57.5%.…

    Homeschool vs. Public School

    We 're all familiar with the popular images of homeschoolers in America: Extreme fundamentalist families shutting out all other points of view. These stereotypes are touted freely by the popular media and conventional schooling experts alike. But they have little to do with the realities of homeschooling for most families today, and are rarely backed by factual data. The average home-schooled student scored “81 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) than did the general population in 2000”. (Winters) At the National Spelling Bee in 2000, the top three winners were home-schooled. Studies show that, “home-schooled children also tend to score higher on basic skills testing than do public school children”. (Winters) According to the Wall Street Journal, “Evidence is mounting that homeschooling, once confined to the political and religious fringe, has achieved results not only on par with public education, but in some ways surpassing it.” (Reider) However, one subject continues to surface whenever the issue of home schooling arises. Public school administrators, teachers, and parents are all concerned about whether home schooling can be considered a good process of education. Therefore, I intend to prove that home-schooled children are properly socialized, fully educated and college admissions increasing acceptance rates of home schooled applicants prove that they’re prepared for the next level of education.…

    What Went Wrong With Standardized Testing

    “The reason is that government finances and thus controls the schools. If parents had full financial control of their children's education, they would judge for themselves the methods and policies of a given school; and if they disapproved of some aspect of a school (whether its testing procedures or anything else), they would be free to work out the issue directly with the school—or, if they deemed it necessary, move their child elsewhere,” says Michael A. LaFerrara in the same journal article. The government controls most of schools funds with grants and other methods of providing schools money. With the governments money in their hands the schools are forced to will their power to the ideas and methods of the government. In 2001, president George W. Bush enacted the “No Child Left Behind,” act.…

    Individuality or Conformity

    Modern public schools today are constantly publicized in the news for shootings and bullying. The cases continue to add up and it leaves Americans with the troubling question: Is public schooling actually benefiting our kids? If this question were asked eighty years ago, the answer would be a resounding yes because it saved students from being exploited for their labor but that problem no longer exists today (Source E). Schools that claim to be about the individual and are dedicated to focusing on each of its students needs have transformed into conforming prisons with captives who yearn to be released from their suffocating grips. If the schooling system has any hope of gaining back its credibility, it needs to put all of its efforts into the individual and creating a curriculum to fit the needs of every student individually.…
