...Home School Vs Public School Education Children in the United States are educated at home or in public school. When choosing a path of education one may want to consider learning environment, social life, and curriculum when making the best decision for their child’s private or public education. The learning environment is very important to a child’s education and there are positive and negative aspects of both home school and public schools. Each child is unique and will adapt to a certain learning environment differently. Public schools can give a child a head start working with others that most jobs require to do after they complete his or her education. Public schools offer an environment that consists of other students of the same age trying to achieve the same goals all together; this is also known as integral learning. This form of learning can help a child stay motivated to keep up with his or her assignment so the student is not left behind. This form of learning also gives the child a sense of competition with his or her peers so they work harder to get the best grades he or she can receive. There are also benefits to home schools; the child can get as much rest as needed, work at his/her own pace, and learn in an environment that has fewer distractions. When learning, a student needs plenty of rest in order to remain focused on his/hers assignments. From personal experience it is challenging to learn when tired. Most home school children do not have to wake...

...Is Your Child Getting the Best Education Possible? By: Christina Chubb Is your child getting the best education that he or she can? Today's parents have options when it comes to how their child receives an education. The most prominent options are private schools and public schools. Charter schools and online schools are a part of public schooling ("Home Schooling | Ohio Department of Education", 2014). However, there is another option- home schooling. Home schooling entails a parent being the teacher and teaching their child. There is an estimated 2.2 million children who are being home schooled (Ray, 2014). There are many reasons why parents prefer to home school their children; whether it be for religious reasons, the unhappiness with their local school district or because they are afraid for their child's safety. While both types of education have core courses and distractions in common, they differ on how things are being paid for and how students socially interact. In traditional schools and home schools across the country, students are required to learn the core subjects like math and science, but they differ in how the core materials are presented to their respective students. It has been my experience, both as a student and as a parent, that lessons taught in school are limited to the number hours in a school day and by how much help a student needs. In contrast, parents who are teaching their children in a home school environment can do schoolwork wherever...

It created a milestone of equal opportunities in schools among the blacks and whites. The ruling of this case took place in 1954 and it ruled in favor of Mr. Brown. It is among one of the important cases ever heard on racial prejudice in the American history. The Brown vs. Board of Education case is about a young third grader girl in Kansas, Topeka city named Linda Brown (Dudley 48). Linda was subjected to trekking one mile through a railway switchyard daily in order to reach her black elementary school despite there being a white school seven blocks away from her home. Browns father attempted to find a chance in the white school to get her enrolled there since the black elementary school was far from home but the principal of the white school rejected Linda’s enrollment because she was black and the school was a white school. Mr. Brown and other parents reported the incident to the head of Topeka’s National Association for Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The head of NAACP Mr. McKinley Burnett had really waited for such an opportunity so as to challenge racial segregation problem in court as segregation cases were very rampant in the United States schools. This was the right opportunity as Mr. Burnett and NAACP took legal action by taking the case to the District court. Brown lost the case to...

...Public Schools vs. Home Schools Public Schools vs. Home Schools Napoleon Butler University of Phoenix Public Schools vs. Home Schools In today’s society education is the key to success; even though they’re many differences between public schooling, and home schooling they both share major goals that are similar. The common school system in America has for a long time been considered the foundation for providing students with strong educational support. However, these same environments are considered be sometimes challenging because of the obstacles that certain students face. Traditional schooling has certain stumbling blocks such as: particular beliefs in religion and many students receive individualized instructions. The way the economy is drastically changing everyday means that every student needs an opportunity to further goals in life to succeed. To accomplish this goal all parents need to ensure that their children are attending a professional operated educational program. This is determined by the environment for the student, and the education that the student can receive while attending the school. The two most common schooling environments for students to attend are public schooling, and home schooling. Throughout attending public schools many students obtain many obstacles to overcome to actually receive a preferable education. These obstacles can sometimes lead to health issues, and bullying from other students. These students have to overcome peer pressure...

...Benefits and disadvantages of home schooling vs public schools Chancia Tokyo international University Academic composition I Those past years we have a lot of children or teenager who can decide where they want to study. They can study in a class surrounded by other students or at home, alone. Public school presents a lot of opportunity for teenagers to be social with other students, do some extracurricular activities and go outside to hang out with their friends. Also, as I mentioned before it is not the only one, there is homeschooling. By being homeschooled, students gain the same education as what the public schools students study. Thus, they can study whatever they want. It only depends on the environment and the academic contents that the parents or teenagers are using, to teach them or themselves. So what is best for the education of our children? Both of them are mainly good, the only thing that we need to do is it to give, children’s, the best education. To begin with, we all know that parents want the best for their children’s, which is not bad and apparently from an article written by Shaw I., homeschooling are getting more famous each year. The growth rate is of 15 percent. So those who are considering letting their children study at home you should be aware of those benefits.

...Home Schooling vs. Public Schooling Jill Norris COM155 October 27, 2012 Dr. Melton Home Schooling vs. Public Schooling The grand cartoonist Al Capps once said, “Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.”(Capps) This statement evokes thought of exactly what defines a “school.” Can any place be called a school? Certainly the home can be called a school as there are around 1.5 million children in the United States are homeschooled. Home schooled children are able to practice their religion, can have a different curriculum, and different disciplinary actions, but both can lead to a well educated student. Public schools, even with all of their bad press, are still the most popular way to educate a child (Homeschool Or Public School? 2012) According to www.hslada.org, which provides legal analysis of home school laws, someone that is interested in homeschooling their children should follow the law of the state in which they reside. Laws governing home school education vary by state and according to the 10th Amendment of the Constitution the power to regulate all forms of education belong to the states. Homeschooling is included in this protection. The Constitution states that the federal government is not allowed to interfere with or control public or private forms of education. The progression requirements for home schooled children do differ state by state and the federal government has no laws or...

...Schools and their rules Kids are meant to enjoy their childhood and play around and have fun. Parents only want the best for their children, but it’s their children’s education that always come first. There are always controversies and arguments about which schooling benefits the student’s learning the most. Most kids are put into public schools because it doesn’t require much money unlike homeschooling or private school. Many families struggle with poverty so public schools are the only options left for them. Money isn’t the only problem that people are facing, but whether or not the students are learning going to school. Does the different type of schools really determine how much the students learn? What are the pros and cons of public schools, private schools and homeschooling? What type of school is the ‘right’ school? According to the Institute of Education Sciences, folks reported having state funded school decision, more or less 25 percent went to a picked government funded school, while 67 percent went to their allocated school while the other 9 percent went to a non-public school.

...| The differences between schools. | Public school, private school and home school. | | Bonnie Beavers | 3/15/2012 | | Parents have many types of schools to choose from; but what effect does their choice have on their children? Parents have many types of schools to choose from; but what effect does their choice have on their children? What are the different types of schools that a parent can choose from? There are many different types of schools available and parents have to choose which is best for their children. Three specific schools available are public school, private school, and home school. Why do they choose a specific type of school and what effect does it have on the children? The first type of school that parents can choose from is public school. This type of school is funded by the local, state and federal government. This type of school follows a certain curriculum that is given by the local government, as well as the state government. (Vercillo, 2012) These schools are open to any student that lives within the school district for that city. Parents choose this type of school for a lot of reasons. One reason is the convenience factor. It is close to the family’s home and transportation can be provided to and from school or they can walk. The second reason is there is no cost to attend public school. Another reason is it has a lot of diversity. Most people consider public school as the “norm.” “Children will basically fit in with society...

...Homeschool vs. Public School David and Bradley, who are neighbors, both wake up in the morning at 7. David gathers his book bag to walk over to the bus and travels to school. However, Bradley walks into his kitchen to begin his school work. How are these circumstances different? David attends a public school whereas Bradley is homeschooled. Which student will receive a better education? Academically, both learning environments give students the chance to achieve higher goals, so they can be successful in a future job. Teachers and parents try their very best to help students along the path to success by challenging them in every area of their life. Challenges of both homeschool and public school consist of offering advanced placement classes and tests that require students to study, as well as setting a requirement of classes that need to be taken in order for students to graduate. Emotionally, students may have a hard time with the challenges because there is a lot of pressure involving studying and test taking to the meet requirements. Required class work may exhaust students and run them down both emotionally and physically. When comparing homeschool to public school, homeschooling is a better alternative for many students. Students enrolled in public school often face situations that can affect their life emotionally, physically, and socially. Throughout the year, students build relationships with teachers and their peers. According to Bridget N. Watts...

...involved racism. Though it sometimes limited rights, the Equal Protection clause eventually became a key element to justice. Lum vs. Rice (1927) was a Supreme Court case where the Mississippi education board did not allow a nine year old girl to attend the all-white Rosedale Consolidated School because of her ethnicity. Gong Lum’s daughter, Martha Lum, was Chinese and a native-born in the United States. One day, a superintendent at Rosedale told Martha to leave school because she was not Caucasian. Gong Lum later filed for suit and the state trial court was in his favor. The state took the issue to officials to readmit Martha Lum, however, the Supreme Court opposed the state’s decision. The Supreme Court supported their argument from the Cumming vs. Richmond County Board of Education case (1899) where it showed that schools are allowed to be separated for white and “colored” students. They also focused on whether or not Martha Lum was being denied of her equal protection of the laws from the 14th Amendment. This brought the Supreme Court to uphold the Plessy vs. Ferguson case (1896) by approaching the concept “separate but equal.” They declared that Martha Lum was not white and the Board of Trustees was allowed to exclude her from Rosedale. In 1954, the Brown family went against the Board of Education because they believed segregated schools can never be equal despite their similar...

...Renooka Alummoottil Engl 1302-45400 Dr. Shazia Ali July 1, 2013 Home School vs Public School Education When it comes to education, the choice on what form of education is best for a child should be of the utmost importance to parents. In order to choose the best education environment for a child, certain matters have to be taken into consideration. Parents need to be educated on the advantages and disadvantages of both public and home school education. Having all the information would enable them to make the best decision for their child’s education. One type of academic setting may be suitable for some children and not others. “In 2007, the number of homeschooled students was about 1.5 million, an increase from 850,000 in 1999 and 1.1 million in 2003. The percentage of the school-age population that was homeschooled increased from 1.7 percent in 1999 to 2.9 percent in 2007. The increase in the percentage of homeschooled students from 1999 to 2007 represents a 74 percent relative increase over the 8-year period and a 36 percent relative increase since 2003” (U.S. Department of Education). These facts support the view that the trend of parents moving to educate their children at home is more beneficial to the child. Because each child is different and may have different needs, they would benefit from an individualized attention setting in order to grow and thrive which cannot be provided by the public school system. If a child is in a setting that is not suitable for them,...

...Home School VS Public School Home school and public school is a debated subject. Parents are disputing whether home school education or a public school education is more beneficial for their child. An education that fits the need of a child is important; that’s why there are things to be considered when choosing an education path for a child. The socializing scene plays a major role in children’s lives. It is very important that children get to play and talk to their peers. The students who are home schooled are more likely to be shy compared to public school students. Being around your peers helps you build up your self-esteem. Physical fitness is something that students need to do to stay healthy and in shape. Public schools have recess where the student gets to run around and play with their classmates. Every child needs to get some kind of exercise in each day. Home school students are less likely to get exercise because they do not have anyone their age to play with unless their siblings are home schooled as well. It is very important that students have access to their teacher when needed. In public schools, the students have their teacher in the classroom with them. They are able to walk up to them and get help whenever needed. Home ...
