1. Regulation of “home schooling”

Abstract Three major investigations were conducted in an effort to determine the impact of home school regulations on educational enrollments in the United States. Home school regulations were obtained from state departments of education and investigated to determine the strength of the accountability measures. Populations representative of the school-age population by state, school enrollment, school non-enrollment, and home school enrollment were collected using 2000 U. S. Census data. The relationship between the strength of the home school regulations and the home school enrollments was examined. Finally, the existence of a discrepant student population was assessed.

4. Political aspects of phonics

Abstract

Noting that the role of phonics in reading and writing has become as much a political issue as it has an educational one, this pamphlet offers a position statement regarding the role of phonics in a total reading program. It begins with three assertions regarding phonics and the teaching of reading: (1) the teaching of phonics is an important aspect of beginning reading instruction; (2) classroom teachers in the primary grades do value and do teach phonics as part of their reading programs; and (3) phonics instruction, to be effective in promoting independence in reading, must be embedded in the context of

    Today’s parents have many options for their children’s education. The pros and cons of homeschooling add up in so many directions. In my research, one of the biggest questions was can homeschooling curriculum match up with examinations and accreditation of public or private schools? The issue is can a parent be qualified enough to train their children on their own without being a professional teacher. Children deserve the best schooling possible because school prepares children for their in life and education is needed to succeed in the life of the world of work. The stress for parents could end up harming their children more because they have to prepare lessons for every subject and if the child starts to struggle, they could end up putting…

    Parents withdraw children from school for concerns that are not being managed to their satisfaction. Bullying manifest, basic skills are not being reinforced, not enough one on one interaction, consequently there is dissatisfaction within the public school system. This does not mean that homeschooling is more appropriate, but in some cases it is necessary. Children who are homeschooled apprehend various social settings, maintain the offbeat school scheduling and timing, and acquire knowledge from diverse sources other than teachers, and still maintain a sturdy set of skills.…

    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).

    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. They believe that they can offer better education than public schools and have a better social environment than public school students, and I fully agree with these reasons.…

    For many years it has been a statistical fact that homeschoolers score above public schooled students. A recent study ,” Homeschool Progress Report 2009” ,which was done by Brian Ray showed that home-schoolers scored an average of 37 percentile points higher than public schooled students on achievement tests(Smith ,2009). Homeschool graduates exceeded public school graduates in 42 out of 63 indicators of college success in research shared at the National Christian Home Educators Leadership Conference (CBN News,May,2007). Studies such as this have muted the concern that parents could not provide an adequate education at home.While no one can argue that most homeschoolers are normally intelligent , successful students the argument that remains is that of socialization. Outsiders wonder how these students can maintain a life without their parents by their side no matter how intelligent they may be. The general feeling is that a parent should begin to let go of a child once he or she reaches school age.…

    On more than one occasion, statistics show that students who are homeschooled tend to score above grade level. The Homeschool Progress Report 2009: Academic achievement and demographic, shows results of homeschoolers, on average, scoring 37 percentile points higher than public school students on standardized achievement tests (1). Some people may argue however, that these results can differ depending on the family’s background, income, and certification to teach but The Homeschool Progress Report 2009 statistic’s proves quite the opposite. Even with all these variations taken into consideration when conducting the survey, homeschooled children still scored 34–39 percentile points above public school children on standardized achievement tests (1).…

    In just seven years, the number of kids who are being home schooled increased from 340,000 kids to 1.7 million kids. But what about the 47.2 million other kids that are enrolled in public schools? Public schools offer kids opportunities to cooperate and communicate with each other and become ready for the real world. Some home schooled kids are even sent to a public high school for the last few years of their K-12 education so that they accommodate to the class lifestyle they would experience in college and further. Public schooling is critical and demanding, which is necessary to experience in the real world; home schooling is easy going and less intense because of its environment and this will be unfavorable to the kids¡¯ future.…
