I believe the focus in Susan Garland’s paper “The ABCs of Homeschooling,” is directed more to the pro side, leading you to believe that you get more out of homeschooling than regular school. She argues that the popularity of homeschooling has grown along with the availability of online material to accommodate those looking to get an education outside of the classroom. Garland argues that homeschooling has its con sides such as: More likely to get into trouble due to less monitoring, eventually get on each other’s nerves, become socially inexperienced, and the need for proof with any and all of your studies. However, even with all the cons homeschooling presents Garland has shown how it is effective and a great benefit for those who may need…
The article written by the author states that “It’s not just about grades. Time spent on the field or on the court also benefits your health” Which means that physical activity is good for kids and is needed in order to maintain a healthy and worthwhile life. (O’Shei, 12) The Author includes more information when he states “If we cut back school sports some kids will be shut out of sports completely” his next statement is, “Yes, club sports that is, private leagues outside of school would be an option for some, but fees, equipment, and travel expenses can add up to thousands of dollars per season” Which means that children would be shut out of opportunities to participate because of the high amounts of money needing to be payed for private sport lessons or leagues.(O’Shei,12) While public schools say they're all about equal opportunities, if they shut down the programs that they have kids will not equal connections as the students did before them, which is very unfair, going back on how open schools say their “Job is to create and deliver new opportunities.” Juniors need this more than ever, and if we were to shut it all down they could not begin to know what it is like to have this sort of feeling clinging onto them, having a constant positive vibe around…
The Texas Supreme Court will rule if Christian parents can homeschool their children without compliance with any minimal educational standards set by the state.…
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.…
“School should be about learning, not sports”. Kids now a days love to play sports, but don’t like to learn. Learning, and get an education this is a very important thing in life you need it to have a good job so that you can have a family and support them. So I feel in school you must have good grades in order to play any type of sport, and if you do not then you should not be playing. A couple reasons I feel like this is for starters kids pay more attention to sports then they do in class. This is not how this should be. Kids should love to learn something new every day at school, but in some school that’s not the case. Kids need to learn.…
People have been debating whether to dispose of after school sports for many reasons. Some schools that have banned sports have saved thousands of dollars and students got higher test scores. Therefore, school districts should not have sports so they a can help cut costs for the district, improve student grades, and the fact that emphasis on sports has gone too far.…
As you can see school sports have their good sides and bad sides like not having homework time, playing to learn, or to support your…
School athletics are too important to the amount of students who take part in sports to cancel. Many athletes involved in school-funded sports learn many morals that will help them in the future, and have extraordinary grades that help them continue in the sports they wish to partake in. Schools should not eradicate athletics.…
Activities and sports in schools is a great way for students to be involved, and to be active. I have done research and there hasn’t been one article I found on why sports shouldn’t be in schools. Having athletic programs and activities in schools are very helpful for students health, it develops team work, helps develop discipline and also perfection. School administrators, and parents, generally support high school activity programs because of the positive effect these activities appear to have on students of both genders. (Braddock P.1)…
According to Amanda Ripley, there was a school district called Premont Independent and school sports have been eliminated there in the spring of 2012,”There was all this extra time,” says Nathan (10). According to Amanda Ripley, she says that “50% of students passed their tests, but now with the elimination of sports 80% passed” (10). This shows why sports should be taken out of schools because with it being at school, students are failing their classes because none of them have time to study. Cutting sports are giving students the time they need to get work done on time or just lets them get ahead of the…
Sports teach children many important lessons about team work and friendship. When the school took away all sports many of the students felt that they did get the full high school experience by being denied a chance to play a sport at the high school level. A few children even started attending a school ten miles away so that they could participate in sports. There were many parents that were unhappy with the school because they felt their children were being denied the “Rite of Passage” of playing on a high school team.…
School sports are not essential in-school, but they do help students achieve goals in themselves throughout the school year. In,(“High- School Sports Aren’t Killing Academics”), It talks about how school sports do not affect students in school, but that it actually benefits the student. In the article it says that “Indeed, our research and that of others leads us to make the opposite case. School-sponsored sports…

Although home school is a more personal one on one atmosphere, public school offers teachers with degrees and individual teachers for each subject. This is a personal decision parents have to decide. Both options have their good points and bad points.…
Should sports be allowed in schools? There are a lot of positive effects to having sports in schools, but are a lot of negative affects to. They help us in school while the same time that put at risk of getting injured. They make us want to come to school, but they also make the unathletic kids less cool. Sports should be played in school because the positive reasons outweigh the negative reasons.…
