Appendix A: Final Project Overview and Timeline Week 9 Com 155 Home School vs Public School There are several reasons that parents take their children out of the Public Education System, since the Supreme Court banned God from our school system and prayer was stopped. When the Government separated from the Church it caused some students to never hear of God, given evolution as their only option. In just seven years, the number of children who are home schooled has increased from 340,000 children to 1.7 million children. Home Schooling has only been in existence for 150 years, some people believe that the popularity of home schooling began when the Government took the Bible out of the public education system and separated God from Government. When the Supreme Court banned God and prayer out of the public school system, SAT scores plummeted, teen pregnancies, teen suicides, teen alcohol and drug abuse, and illiteracy rates increased tremendously. The public education system has been in existence for 360 years and counting, and yet education in our public schools has been on the down slope for over 20 years now. Public schools have lost all values and biblical morality and this was what our country was founded on. The public school system teaches evolution and nothing about creationism, the Government has taken away our choice and chose to take religion out of the public school system in 1962. (Supreme Court) Over 80 percent of public high school students drink alcohol but are not allowed to have prayer in school. The public schools are overrun with violence and the children carry guns to school, sell illegal drugs and have sex at school. The teachers in the public school system have too many children in one class, which prevents the teachers to spend extra time with the children who need extra help. The choice to home school your children increased in the last 20 years, due to the down fall of the public education system.

It has been reported, “In 1999 the percentage of school-age children who were being homeschooled increased from 1.7 percent to 2.9 percent in 2007” (National Center for Education Statistics). Deciding to home school your child can be a rewarding experience. Some of the benefits of being homeschooled are, one-on-one instruction, setting your own schedule, healthier food choices, safety, good morals, freedom of religion, and a lower risk of peer pressure.…

    II. Many years ago homeschooling was very rare. But according to the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (2013), they “released an eagerly awaited report on the number of homeschooled students in the U.S. The report showed that the number of homeschooled students has grown by almost 300,000 since the last report in 2007” (para. 1). Today I will convince three reasons to consider homeschooling due to the overall academic attainment, socialization, and being an active members of our society.…

    In the United States over 2 million people are being homeschooled. This equates to 3.5% of the total amount of currently enrolled students. The number of homeschooled students rises every year at a surprising rate. There are a couple of reasons why parents are turning to homeschooling for their kid’s education.

    We 're all familiar with the popular images of homeschoolers in America: Extreme fundamentalist families shutting out all other points of view. These stereotypes are touted freely by the popular media and conventional schooling experts alike. But they have little to do with the realities of homeschooling for most families today, and are rarely backed by factual data. The average home-schooled student scored “81 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) than did the general population in 2000”. (Winters) At the National Spelling Bee in 2000, the top three winners were home-schooled. Studies show that, “home-schooled children also tend to score higher on basic skills testing than do public school children”. (Winters) According to the Wall Street Journal, “Evidence is mounting that homeschooling, once confined to the political and religious fringe, has achieved results not only on par with public education, but in some ways surpassing it.” (Reider) However, one subject continues to surface whenever the issue of home schooling arises. Public school administrators, teachers, and parents are all concerned about whether home schooling can be considered a good process of education. Therefore, I intend to prove that home-schooled children are properly socialized, fully educated and college admissions increasing acceptance rates of home schooled applicants prove that they’re prepared for the next level of education.…
