Home Schooling

Paper Summary:

Traditional school-based education was once though to be the most effective and essential part of the education of children. Yet, recent trends have dramatically increased the number of alternatives available to students and their parents. This paper addresses some problems with school-based education and, in turn, disproves some of the popular myths associated with home-schooling. It argues that home-schooling is a viable alternative for many students and should be taken advantage of to a greater degree.

From the Paper:

"Public schools have been under intense scrutiny for several years. The level of student failure, in the United States, one of the most advanced nations in the world casts a clear and reasonable doubt upon the validity of our school systems. The responses from the public education system has been to adopt a system of outcomes based testing which does not change the school but then makes educators and students follow a curriculum that is geared almost exclusively toward test success and yet there is no real proof anyone is learning any more than they were before the testing became the focus."
