Homeschool vs. Public schools
Homeschooling vs. public school has been a public debate for the last couple years. Many parents' today are deciding to home school their children. Although most people think that a public education is better, most statistics and facts tend to show that home schooling is beneficial in more ways. Some parents choose homeschooling because of the protection to their child and some choose public education because of the environment. When a child is homeschooled, parents naturally take a greater interest in their child’s progress and they have a better oversight of grades. Also, parents who objected to certain materials on a moral basis are free to change for their own beliefs. For instance, if public school wants to teach about safe sex, acknowledging that your child is homeschooled, you can choose not to teach on that subject. Homeschooling has much more advantages than public schools, parents and children are less likely to be confronted with violence or drug abuse.
Unfortunately our country has been replaced with humanism. One example of humanism in our schools is that they teach evolution, not creationism. Some people believe that this problem is happening because of the removal of God and prayer in public schools; the U.S. Supreme Court did this in 1962. Beginning in 1962, SAT scores plummeted. Teen pregnancies, teen sexual diseases, teen suicides, teen alcohol, drug abuse, pornography, and illiteracy rates abruptly increased 200 to 300 percent (Klicka 48). Violence is one of the main factors effecting our schools today. Rape is a growing problem among juveniles. A juvenile commits one out of every five rapes that occur in the United States. There is also a higher use of drugs and alcohol among kids in public schools. Over 80 percent of public high school students drink alcohol and 45.7 percent have used marijuana. Drugs and alcohol make most people extremely violent. That is also why
