Homeschool vs public school- an insanely controversial debate in which a student’s success and future are put on the line. The schooling years of a person are absolutely detrimental to whether or not that person will grow up to be prosperous and happy in life. Therefore, the method of schooling is an incredibly important topic of debate. Modern homeschooling began with John Holt, an educational theorist, who began having concerns about the mechanical-like characteristics of students who went through the public school system. A large motivator for people wanting to homeschool was having increased religious freedom, as public schools have become more and more secular and worldly.
You might think whoever is homeschooled is the luckiest person around. Laying in their pajamas all day and never do school.

Homeschooling, or home education, is the education of children inside the home conducted by either a parent or a tutor.
Abstract We are basically conducting a research on homeschooling. In this education system a student is basically given education in his/her home by his parents or a tutor.

Most students have a moment in their school years when they face something difficult, whether its a school bully or just a person who is hateful toward others. Students face these type of thing in public schools and private schools no matter what, but homeschooled students don't face those type of challenges. Homeschooled students don't have to worry about boring, stupid high school drama too. Even though homeschooled students don't face these challenges, they still miss out on the good things in high school.

Home schooling is a trending concept that is popular mostly in US and around the world. Home schooling preferred often by the parents that have environmental concerns, religious beliefs, lack of confidence to the education quality of the public and private schools and inadequacy of curriculum. They believe that they can give better education to their children at home. According to Jamie Martin (Homeschooling 101: What Is Homeschooling, 2012), home schooling began to grow in the 1970s, when popular writers and researchers such as John Holt and Dorothy and Raymond Moore wrote about the educational reforms and they alleged that home schooling is a valid educational alternative. In addition, according to National Home Education Research Institutes’ 2012 data, there are more than 2 million home schooled children in US with the percentage swiftly increasing by 7 percent to 15 percent each year.
Home schooling is legally accepted in all 50 states of the U.S., but each state has its own laws that a family must adhere to.
