Homeschool versus public school
By Ariel Bell
Everyone has an opinion on homeschool, and public school. Even though many people think that home school is a much safer place for kids, parents may not be able to provide the necessary tools. Some think that public schools are unsafe, and many people thought that home school was a religious thing. Things that are good for one family may not work for another family. Each child possesses different qualities and needs. Deciding, which is best for your child, and your family are an important decision.

A higher percentage of middle schools reported that there was bullying at least once a day to once a week. Twenty five percent of the schools surveyed reported at least one incident of distribution of illegal drugs, possession or use of illegal drugs and/or alcohol.” The dangers of home school are the only dangers of your home. Parents feel better because they are in control.
Teachers in your traditional public schools have had to go through years and years of learning and school to do what they do. Many people think that parents are not educated enough to give their kids the education that they deserve or require to survive in the world. Many years ago, very many, people thought that home schooling was more of a religious thing and not about the academics. According to Education Matters, “a13-year-old boy, Sean Conley of Anoka, Minnesota, became the third winner of the annual spelling bee in the past five years to have been home schooled. The
