As the new CEO of HoloSolar Industries I am excited to help the firm realize its full potential as a profitable and fast-growing company. I have studied the inner workings of the company, and I plan to give the board unbiased, honest recommendations based on my findings. Hopefully the implementation of my proposals will help rectify the current state of affairs at HoloSolar Industries and restore its success, as filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy is not an advisable option. I would like to now provide a better understanding of where these recommendations come from. Results from the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) place me in the ISTJ category. This type of person is typically

However, if on one hand homeschooling can provide the student with freedom on different levels, on the other hand learning at home can drastically reduce parents’ freedom and can consume a lot of their time causing stress and frustration in most cases.

I know how to speak, and I can hear when people talk to me, but why is it that we still consume ineffective listening skills between one another? When we think of effective listening at work or on the job, most of us think of what we actually say or what is said to us. What I am going to cover is the factors and barriers of effective communication, strategies for active, critical and empathic listening and understanding the impact of gender and culture on interpersonal communication.

We as humans must understand that not all the time our communicating skills are the same, as the ones we are trying to communicate with.

Thesis: Homeschooling environment is an effective approach in education due to evidence of higher achievement on placement tests, success through college, engaged socially with activities outside homes, and students becoming active members of society.

B. Preview – Traditional homeschooling can be problematic to a student’s life skills and overall development. The social learning aspect of school, which is lacking in homeschool, directly transfers into college and the workplace. Most teenagers and kids need to be supervised at every moment or else they will not do their work and, while at home, it is hard to find the motivation to do schoolwork.

Students that attend home school are less likely to be stressed out because of school work, and less likely to be a victim of peer pressure.

When kids reach the age where learning begins parents now and days have a concern of whether to home school their kids or send them to a public school. Both are good methods in developing a good education for a child. But also have differences in techniques of teaching and environmental differences. Parents have to think about the cost, the way the child learns being in a social environment, and also be aware of what their child is learning in the street. We will see how home schooling and or public schooling have different effect on a child’s education. The choice of public schooling and or home schooling is a personal serious decision for many parents.

Homeschooling, not very well known, presents a new and affordable way to educate children. “Home school is a term used to refer to the education of children by their parents or guardians in a setting other than a public or private school” (Anderman & Anderman, p. 467). It has never been a new thing; it just has not been as popular as it used to be (Lines, p. 76). With this topic meaning so much to groups for and against the right for homeschooling and what should be legalized or not, the debate still rages on from local to even national government entities. Both sides of the argument have valid points, but ultimately it is the choice of the parents. There are many types of ways to educate children and that decision is difficult for both

Education is an essential part of life. It helps a child be able to reach their full potential, and allows them to broaden their horizon in ways that might not otherwise have been possible. Because of this many parents are determined to give their child the best education possible, so that they can have what they feel is the best chance for a life full of amazing possibilities. Often, parents turn to public or private schools to help them along this journey, feeling that these two paths are the only way for their children to achieve this. But, these two forms of schooling are not the only ones out there that are beneficial for parents to consider. Another important choice for parents is homeschooling. Homeschooling is the earliest form of education, being done throughout the ages. Before there were public and private schools, children being taught in the home was a completely normal occurrence. Today far fewer parents homeschool than in years past. While homeschooling provides both children and parents with many great benefits, for a child’s education, there are also a fair number of drawbacks to it as well. By understand what the benefits and drawbacks are of homeschooling it can help a parent fully decided if this educational option is right for them.

Homeschooling a child can drastically affect their lives in the future, and put them in a clouded state of mind for seeing what the world is. Schooling your child from home will hold them back from learning a wide variety of basic skills that can be easily provided in public or private school systems. Although some see homeschooling as a good way to shelter their children from the world they view as harsh, it is not giving them any chance to gain common social skills. Social skills cannot be taught to a child, they are something the child must learn from interaction with his or her peers. Furthermore, homeschool teachers are not required the level of training and experience that a teacher at a public school are required (Hudak). Diversity is something widely portrayed in school systems; however, homeschooling doesn't allow students to bear witness to the diverse nature found in school systems.

Homeschool is a way for some kids to stay focused on their subjects and not have any distractions. Some kids have trouble with classroom settings, so the best option is for them to get away from others and focus on what is in front of them. Some kids have been bullied to the point where there is no other option but to be homeschooled. The effects of being homeschooled can be both good and bad and it can take a toll on what the child is feeling and also how they react to people and situations they encounter.A child that is being homeschooled can only so many social skills from their parents and the internet to the point that it will not be able to handle other people in the real world but that is false because most kids that I have met are actually very sociable. One effect being homeschooled can have is that the child has to learn everything from their parents or their tutor. This effect is a good one because a child that is learning from the same teacher will not be afraid to ask questions and voice their concerns about anything. Another effect of being homeschooled is that the child is focusing so much on the work they are assigned that can learn at their own speed and they do not have to slow down or speed up their learning from the others around them. A final effect of being homeschooled is that a child might always be stuck in their house and not get enough exercise.

Home schooling has its advantages and its disadvantages. For instance it has been proven that home schooled children are more socially and academically advanced as compared to private or public school children according to a study by the Fraser institute.(Basham,P.& Hepburn,C,October,2001). "In the past decade, home schooling has proven itself to parents and researchers to be a highly effective alternative to public and private schooling,"(Hepburn, 2001). It is good in the sense of that it allows you to be able to decide what your children are going to learn as compared to private or public schools where your child will learn everything put in the program even though he does not like it or it will not benefit him in the future. Furthermore in this type of schooling you are able to enjoy vacations at any time of the year unlike the scheduled school holidays. Positively you would also be able to shield your child from the negative influences outside your home. In addition it also is good as you are able to create your own schedule that will suit your needs. While on the same token it would be bad for your child as it might get lonely for them as they will not have as many friends as compared to a school where they can make new friends each and every day (Lamb,

Education plays significant role in the life of everyone. It is obvious that good education will influence the future and strong foundation is the first step in building it. Iimmediately after birth, child begins to receive knowledge, an education from his family, from his home, because home considers as the foundation of all human institutions. After that it comes to make a choice whether to send him to study to the ordinary school or not to send. Some parents try to homeschool their child due to the different reasons, however others against of homeschooling because of its disadvantages. Therefore we will discuss about the advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling and its impact on child education and development.
