RJA #3c: Developing Research Question

1.) Why is homeschooling better than public schools?
Why is public school better than homeschooling?
When a child has a disability is it better for them to be home schooled?
Should stay at home moms consider homeschooling for their child/children?
Who should decide if a child should be home schooled, the parents or the child?
Would a student who was home schooled ever want to switch to a public school and if so why?
Which type of education is more beneficial to your child and his academic development:public school or home school?
Where are the highest percentage rates of students who end up in college home schooled students or students from a public school?
2.) I do want to share more information on my topic. I am evaluating more on the issue because there is two sides to this so I'm comparing and contrasting home school vs. public school. In my paper I will define homeschooling and public schooling, it is very important for my paper.
3.) I am writing to those who are against homeschooling and those who are against public education. I want them to see both sides of the issue. I know that these couple audiences are very serious about this issue. This paper can also have an audience for those who are considering both homeschooling and public schools for their children, this would be something their interested in. My purpose in writing is to inform.
4.) Questions that would not meet the needs of my audience would be "Who should decide if a child should be home schooled, the parents or the child?" My audience would not like this question too much.
5.) The question I chose was,
Which type of education is more beneficial to your child and his academic development:public school or home school? I would define the term academic development as the child's level of learning based on his or her age and also on the amount of education the child has.

  3. I like your perspective on both sides of the argument and it would be interesting to read. Some things you could maybe add is the effect of students' personalities from home school or public. Different traits they develop and morals. Just a suggestion
