Home schooling Versus Traditional SchoolingAbstract
This research paper examines the difference between home schooling verses traditional schooling. It also unearths the deep rooted education concepts that brought about homeschooling. The study then describes why the number of parents choosing homeschooling as an educational option for their children is on the rise. This shift in educational options has in turn led to an increase in the popularity of home schooling. The paper will through analyses of the research, examine the causes of the current popular trends.
Children who are homeschooled are distinctively different from those who are traditionally schooled. This research paper shows that the level of success for children who are homeschooled gives a good agent for the home schooling type of education. Through research studies, this research paper will address other concerns which have been raised over time regarding success homeschooling. These concerns raised against home schooling are parental education levels and socialization, but research has proven that homeschooling as a form of education is very viable.

There are options for parents when deciding on their children's education. In order to make a worthy educational decision, parents need to understand the facts that surround the options they have and the implications that accompany their decisions. Although there is no research clearly showing which option is more beneficial to students, an argument for traditional schooling is that parents will always reap the fruits of traditional schooling each and every day (McGrath, 2000). Children who are homeschooled are socially deprived and backward is a key argument raised by those who are opposed to homeschooling. A contrast to their argument, research gives the opposite. It shows that children who are homeschooled are in a better position socially (Taylor, 2001). Both homeschooling of children and traditionally schooling obviously has positive views.Homeschooling
Homeschooling is becoming more popular every day, with a growth rate of 7 to 15 percent per year. There are about two million children currently learning at home. Homes.

Homework, Effects on Student Achievement (2010)Jennifer Kaupke
This document summarizes a teacher's implementation of a new classroom policy that eliminated required homework for 5th grade students. The teacher conducted research on the effectiveness of homework which showed mixed or no benefits for younger students. A survey of parents found that most supported the new policy, and observed their children engaging in more independent learning activities at home. By removing required homework, the teacher aimed to reduce frustration and start each school day positively rather than dealing with incomplete homework.
The document discusses a classroom policy implemented by two 5th grade teachers that eliminated required homework.

cultural changes as gender roles expand to support the war effort. Psychological impacts include
widespread trauma and loss of life that change social structures permanently.

Here is a 3 paragraph, 300-word essay on how the human body continuously needs blood supply:
The human body requires a constant supply of blood to function properly. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body and removes waste products such as carbon dioxide. Without a continuous circulation of blood, our cells and organs would not receive the nutrients they need to survive and function.
The heart pumps blood through a closed system of arteries, veins and capillaries called the circulatory system. With each heartbeat, blood is pumped from the heart through the arteries and delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout the body. The smallest blood vessels, called capillaries, allow for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, hormones and waste between the

of Labor (AFL) in 1886 and served as its president from 1886 to 1924, growing the organization from
around 200,000 members to over 3 million members. He advocated for the use of collective

Here are some key financial incentives that could help expand solar power adoption in the US:
- Renewable Energy Tax Credits: Extend and expand the existing solar Investment Tax Credit which provides a 26% tax credit for residential and commercial solar systems. This helps offset upfront costs and encourages more homeowners and businesses to install solar.
- Green Bank: Establish a national "green bank" to provide low-interest loans and financing for large-scale solar and renewable energy projects. This helps drive investment in new solar farms and manufacturing plants.

This document was developed to assist parents, caregivers, and
teachers in understanding the importance of homework and the role that
parental involvement plays in assigning homework. The document is a teacher's
guide containing talking points to be used in a presentation to parents, and
includes transparencies. The presentation begins with a series of true-false
statements about homework: at what grades it should be given, types of
homework, parental involvement, and the impact of homework on students. The
presentation also includes 12 general suggestions for parents regarding
homework, including the location for doing homework, a regular schedule for
completing homework, and how parents can help. Nine homework tips related to
reading include having children read to their parents aloud every night, with
the parent pointing out spelling and sound patterns. Ten mathematics homework
tips include encouraging the use of a daily math assignment book and not
teaching strategies and shortcuts that conflict with the approach the teacher
is using. The presentation concludes with resource information for parents.

4. A Teacher's Guide to Homework Tips for Parents
Talking Points for Overheads
Overhead 2Cover Slide:
This information was developed by the U.S. Department of Education to
assist parents, caregivers and teachers in understanding the importance of
homework and the role that parental involvement plays in assigning
homework.
5. Overhead 3True or False?
1. Homework should only be given to students in grades four and above.
False. Homework can have many benefits for children in the primary
grades. It can improve a child's ability to remember and understand
schoolwork. Homework can help students develop study skills that will be of
value even after they leave school. It can teach them that learning takes
place anywhere, not just in the classroom. Homework can benefit children in
more general ways as well. It can foster positive character traits such as
independence and responsibility. Homework can teach children how to
manage time. Experts agree that the amount of homework should depend on
the age and skills of the student. Many national groups of teachers and
parents, including the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA), suggest
that homework for children in kindergarten through second grade is most
effective when it does not exceed 10-20 minutes each day. In third through
sixth grade, children can benefit from 30-60 minutes of homework per day.
Junior high and high school students can benefit from more time on
homework, and the amount may vary from night to night. Reading at home
is especially important for young children. Reading assignments might push
the time on homework a bit beyond the minutes suggested above.
2. Assigned homework should focus only on one aspect of learning.
False. Homework assignments typically have one or more purposes. The
most common purpose is to have students practice material already
presented in class. Practice homework is meant to reinforce learning and
help the student master specific skills. Preparation homework introduces
material that will be presented in future lessons. These assignments aim to
help students learn new material better when it is covered in class. Extension
homework asks students to apply skills they already have to new situations.
Integration homework requires the student to apply many different skills to a
single task, such as book reports, science projects or creative writing.
5
6. Overhead 4True or False?
3. If a child is having trouble with his or her homework, parents should
reach out to the teacher or school for help.
True. Knowing about homework assignments can involve parents in the
schooling process in a positive way and accelerate a child's learning. It can
give parents firsthand information about what students are learning and how
well their child is doing in school. It can also give them an opportunity to
express supportive attitudes about the value of success in school. Talking
with teachers about homework can help parents understand what is expected
of students and generally improve communication between the family and
the school. Research shows that parent involvement can have either a
positive or negative impact on the value of homework. Although parents
should avoid interfering in the independent completion of assignments, if a
child is having difficulty with homework, parents should become involved
by discussing the issue with the teacher and asking how they might help.
4. All homework will have a positive impact on students in the long run.
False. Homework that is not properly assigned and monitored can also have
negative effects on children. Educators and parents worry that students will
grow bored if they are required to spend too much time on schoolwork.
Homework can prevent children from taking part in leisure-time and
community activities that also teach important life skills. Homework can
lead to undesirable character traits if it promotes cheating, either through the
copying of assignments or help with homework that goes beyond tutoring.
The issue for educators and parents is not which list of effects, the positive
or negative, is correct. To a degree, both are. It is the job of parents and
educators to make the most of the benefits of homework and minimize the
costs. Homework policies and practices should give teachers and parents the
flexibility to take into account the unique needs and circumstances of their
students. That way, they can maximize the positive effects of homework and
minimize negative the ones.
7. Overhead 5 What Teachers Can Tell Parents About Homework
Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework.
Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in
places with other distractions, such as people coming and going.
Make sure the materials your child needssuch as paper, pencils and a
dictionary are available.
Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects
and get them in advance.
Help your child with time management.
Establish a set time each'day for doing homework. Don't let your
child leave homework until just before bedtime. Think about using a
weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, especially
if the project involves getting together with classmates.
Be positive about homework.
Tell your child how important homework is to school performance.
The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your
child acquires.
7
8. Overhead 6 What Teachers Can Tell Parents About Homework
When your child does homework, you do "homework," such as balancing
a checkbook.
Show your child that the skills they are learning are related to things
you do as an adult. If your child is reading, you read too. If your child
is doing math, balance your checkbook.
When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers.
Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too
much help teaches your child that when the going gets rough,
someone will do the work for him.
When the teacher asks that you play a role in homework, do it.
Cooperate with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and
home are a team. Follow the directions given by the teacher.
If homework is meant to be done by your child alone, stay away.
Too much parent involvement can prevent homework from having
some positive effects. Homework is a great way for kids to develop
independent, lifelong learning skills.
9. Overhead 7 What Teachers Can Tell Parents About Homework
Stay informed about your child's school assignments.
Talk with your child's teacher. Make sure you know the purpose of
homework and what your child's class rules are.
Help your child figure out what is hard homework and what is easy
homework.
Have your child do the hard work first. This will mean he will be most
alert when facing the biggest challenges. Easy material will seem to
go fast when fatigue begins to set in.
Watch your child for signs of failure and frustration.
Let your child take a short break if she is having trouble keeping their
mind on an assignment.
Reward progress in homework.
If your child has been successful in homework completion and is
working hard, celebrate that success with a special event (e.g., pizza, a
walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort.

form (on file within the ERIC system), encompassing all or classes of
documents from its source organization and, therefore, does not require a
"Specific Document" Release form.
This document is Federally-funded, or carries its own permission to
reproduce, or is otherwise in the public domain and, therefore, may be
reproduced by ERIC without a signed Reproduction Release form (either
"Specific Document" or "Blanket").
