Public School Versus Home School

Public schooling establishes a diverse atmosphere and stimulation for students to succeed. Student’s need more stimulation than any one parent can provide for their child. “Home schooling does not encourage and facilitate children to make peer relationships. In both public and private schools, children have the benefit of being grouped together in classes and activities, and in turn, they have an opportunity to get to know one another. Home school lacks this type of environment and can retard a child’s social growth” (Home Schooling – The Benefits of Learning at

Home schooling is another way that children can achieve an education in a smaller and more relaxed learning environment. It also allows children to go at their own pace and have more time to get their work done. Home schooling can be a better way for kids to get their education especially if the child has a problem with being around other kids or being away from home. Home schooling allows children to learn at home in familiar surroundings, which can have a positive effect on kids if they have trouble adjusting to a classroom and being around other kids. Being at home, doing school work also allows kids to work in a stress free environment by means of getting one-on-one attention if they are having difficulty understanding or solving a problem.

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.

In the other hand parents who choose to home school their kids are faced with a great deal of advantages. Home schooling a child means that a parent has to give 100 percent dedication into teaching there child. One great asset to home schooling is that children are often way ahead in their grade work as compared with their peers in public school. They learn to read much earlier and advance through their subjects much faster and in a more thorough manner, due to more individualized attention and subject-specific attention. By being taught at home, the student has immediate access to the "teacher", and can ask questions at just about any time without having to worry about other students and their learning habits. Parents don’t have to worry about the safety of their child when it comes to home schooling. The child is in the home and always being watched if something where to happen it would be the parents’ responsibility and the parent would know what to do

Public education is the most important form of education. It provides people with the common ability of social skills. Which can not be replaced with home school. Home school does not provide the amount of people and the situations that are presented to you at a public school. Some would argue that private school is better

Thesis Statement: Many parents question what is best for their child’s education, home schooling or public school. Home schooling can sometimes provide a more direct and focused education than public schools, Public School is better in many ways including the child’s social development.

Before the development of the United States education system it was necessary for children to homeschool, but that time has passed. Today students have the option to attend the school that best fits them due to the process of open enrollment. The United States educational system now offers students options such as religious schools, charter schools, private schools, and public schools. Therefore, no reason exists that they can not find a decent school that meets their academic expectations. Families that homeschooled have a distinct disadvantage to families that attend public or private schools.

Before presenting both the positive and the negative aspects of homeschooling it is worth mentioning that the deciding factor for parents choosing to homeschool as opposed to public schooling generally falls into a biased opinion of public schooling. As mentioned in an NPR radio interview, “the number one reason parents give is the desire to provide religious or moral instruction and that the second most popular reason, closely followed behind, was a concern about the school environment” Martin, M. (2013). These type of reasoning for home schooling presents some valid question, such as, who determines what the best approach or the best form of education? Is the quality of education

Public school is easier to get involved in, and is the better option for those purusing careers in sports, while homeschooling provides recreational-level sports and clubs, but they might only be available at a distance. Homeschooling has a more tailored education style and the flexible hours encourages the desire to learn and to pursue personal interests, where other students have to conform to the cookie-cutter class style of a public school. While family is the center of the homeschool system, parents are almost left out of public schools entirely, unless in the event of misconduct. Lastly, homeschooling requires purchasing textbooks and sometimes paying tuition, while simultaineously paying for other children to be educated through taxes. In conclusion, every child thrives in a different environment and the parents should ultimately decide what is most beneficial in their

Homeschooling is not as recent as some people think it to be. In fact, it has a long history and has advocates behind it such as the famous

Some people say that being home schooled is not as beneficial as public school. However, I feel that being home schooled is more beneficial. Even though some may argue that the child loses social contact and socialization skills not everyone can learn in a large social setting. I think learning in a setting where you get more one on one contact is more beneficial. Second, there are less distractions when your learning at home. Also, everyone learns differently and your learning coach can teach you in a way you can understand. Lastly, some people have learning disabilities and some have disabilities that don't only affect their learning but their concentration as well, so eliminating the distractions and putting you in a setting where your

The greatly discussed dilemma of having a child be taught in a public school setting versus a homeschool setting has been evaluated by parents since the idea was first introduced in the 1970’s. Public schooling had been the standard method of teaching since it is a requirement for states to provide public, free education for children in grades K-12. However, the backlash against the system began when two educational theorists and supporters of school reform, John Holt and Raymond Moore, started to question both the techniques and the products of public schools. Some parents went on to support the ideas of them and began to teach their children in the environment of their own homes for several different reasons. Some included moral or religious reasons, a desire for high educational achievement, dissatisfaction with public schools’ instructional program, or concerns about drugs and peer pressure in a public school environment. Child development specialists believe that homeschooled children are isolated from the outside world, therefore making them socially handicapped. If being exposed to this type of education on an elementary school level, the child can suffer from the lack of fundamental development of effective social skills needed for a lifetime ahead of them.

Many may argue that homeschooling is the best because it is on the raise. With several options for schooling in today’s society, my topic best summarizes causal comparative research. The educational of children today is immensely important in order fro them to have a successful bright future. Students in school are taught the basic fundamentals but the concern of some parents is that the fundamentals taught are not beneficial to their children. Among the parents that decide to homeschool, 45% percent of parents claim they can give their children a better education than the public school system. Based on the surveys ad data collection, homeschooling is looking like it is a better alternative for

Parents choose homeschooling over public or private school for a number of reasons. What are those reasons? First, homeschooling poses a customized learning system that grants students with the chance to learn and develop at their own pace. Next, families that homeschool their children have a stronger bond with each other, building a safe and caring learning environment for students. Lastly, research has shown that homeschooled students are above average in terms of social levels. Public schooling may be beneficial to some students, but until the system is further improved for convenience and profit to all, homeschooling is a more effective method of education.

Most parents hear the word “home-school” and conjure up many assumptions that are either false or overlooked at. The technology provided, as well as the teaching quality spent on home-schooled children requires a lot of time and effort from the parents; it is an act of dedication and total commitment. According to the Robinson Curriculum, the parents have “little personal time or time alone. If care is not taken to set aside time for yourself, it is easy to never have time alone. They are basically with their [children] 24/7” (The Robinson Curriculum). There are many positives as well as the negatives outlooks pertaining to “sheltering” kids from attending private or public schools. Many adults are
