Recommended: Private education vs public education

There has long been a debate of weather which educational method creates a better, well-rounded, highly educated student: public school or home school. The differences between the methods of education are vast, but the goal is the same. I will hone in on three specific arguments, often the most typical, for the two sides. The high school student’s end result is up to him; however, I think the most defining question should be: do you want to be a burger joint flipper or a burger joint owner?
The clothing of students may seem like a petty point to make concerning the education of the next generation of leaders and the working force. If one has recently driven past a high school one will notice some of the popular trends students are choosing to wear. Many students look like walking advertisements for high end retail brands. Young men wear shirts and pants excessively large which clearly expose their underwear. Some ladies seem to choose the opposite in which less is more. Short shorts or skirts paired with skimpy, tight tops leave a distasteful impression of themselves on others. While not every student may succumb to these styles, the majority of students fall prey to this peer pressure of indecent trends.
Homeschool students, on the other hand, tend to dress much more modest. For the homeschool student it is a creative outlet to show others who they are rather than what is underneath. A respect for one’s self and others around is more evident in the student’s clothing choices, while still wearing self-expressive, trendy variations. Clothing choices are then determined upon the day’s activities instead of dressing to impress others. While the homeschool student does most of their education at home, they have many activities awa...

...ts leave high school and only have skills to be a mediocre employee at a lower skill level job. Hopefully these students will learn quickly the value their education makes on their life outcomes.
Homeschool students outrank their public school peers in almost all areas. Their ability to dress respectfully, adapt well in conversing with others in all situations, and competency in all their subjects gives them the edge needed to enter the work force at a higher level and confidence to do so. Almost all homeschoolers go on to higher education and business ownership. I think we should all look at the structure of how homeschool students are educated and implement this structure into the public school sector. The next time you go to your favorite hamburger joint ask yourself, do you want more burger joint flippers or more students educated to be the burger joint owner?

  • My Response to the NLCS Dress Code

    ...oday there are increasingly fewer attacks on the student body regarding their clothing, undoubtedly to prevent upsetting more parents. We can see in Source F that this pressure to look a certain way never really ends, and this is true for both men and women. Although this pressure to have a perfect appearance doesn’t stop after high school, the Bedford North Lawrence Community Schools should be understanding and more lenient on some of the less scandalous clothing choices to make students feel comfortable and give them a realistic feel for how people dress and behave in public. In the end, everyone’s body is their own personal business and should not be dictated by another person or shamed for how it is presented, however BNL behaved the exact opposite of this at the beginning of the school year, making the way the administration handled the situation inappropriate.

    Varying Issues Corresponding to the School Dress Code Shelby A. Scholle Newbury Park High School Abstract Dress code enforces the modest dress of students, preventing bullying and distractions.

    Many think that a stronger dress code will help students focus in school, but the way a student dresses does not determine a student’s willingness to learn or the teacher’s ability to capture the student’s attention. Also, adults argue that high school is a teenager’s job; therefore, they should dress professionally. However, Elizabeth Forward does not have a policy against sweatpants, sweatshirts, or athletic attire, which are much more unprofessional than tank tops or destroyed denim. I think that the dress code policies should be relaxed to a more lenient state given the temperature of the building throughout the school year, the change in long-term trends among teenagers, and the level of hypocrisy illustrated between the relationship of school’s administration and the dress code policy.

  • Mandatory Public School Uniforms are a Good Thing

    1430 Words  | 3 Pages

    There have been many forums and discussions about mandatory school uniforms in public schools. They assume that wearing uniforms is a kind of Nazi education tactic; however, school uniforms reduce fashion-envy among students. For example, it is extremely easy to tell who is rich and popular at a public high school. Only popular girls wear Buckle Jeans that cost approximately one hundred dollars per pair. Only popular boys wore Ralph Lauren T-shirts to school. High school students are teenagers who are developing their self-esteem; therefore, it is important to guide students to lead a confident life without caring too much about appearance and materialistic things. In every public school, lots of students try to follow the newest trends and brands by begging their parents to buy them expensive clothes. They also work too hard to earn money for buying clothes, rather than focus on schoolwork. Moreover, the cases in which students steal and commit crimes are increasing like a strong wave.

  • A Persuasive Essay Against School Uniforms

    654 Words  | 2 Pages

    High school is typically a time when kids begin to distinguish themselves from one another. Students begin to develop their own sense of personal style, desperately trying to both fit in and stand out simultaneously. Being self-conscious and often lacking the confidence needed to assert themselves, teens are forced to use clothing and outward appearance as the means to manifest this individuality. Thus, students should not be forced to wear uniforms to school. Standard uniforms are unproven deterrents to student violence; are a "Band-Aid" to cover up the real problems faced by children and teens; and they violate students' right of self-expression, depriving them of their search for identity.

  • Negative Essay: Homeschool Or Public School?

    1552 Words  | 4 Pages

    While the majority choose to do so for academics, the reasoning goes beyond simply that. Homeschool families are often stereotyped as extremely religious and attempting to hide their children from the corruption and sin of the world. Families that do keep children out for these reasons are still prevalent within the homeschooling community; my mother contemplated homeschooling me and my brothers for this reason, and one of my best friends is homeschooled in a religious home. As homeschooling grows more mainstream, more families believe that public school squashes a child’s creativity and attempts to conform all children into the same person. Lynn Schnaiberg, a writer for Education Weekly, gives the reasons for four homeschooling families in her article “Staying Home from School.” In this article, the first family, the Scandora’s, believe “learning is not a product of teaching” and that their children should be free to learn at whatever pace they want. Another family featured in Schnaiberg’s article, the Collins family, is dissatisfied with the Baltimore city schools, which had some of the lowest test scores in the state. The Hoyt family has two children who are considered “gifted.” Because public schools do not give proper attention

  • What Are The Pros And Cons Of School Uniforms?

    1722 Words  | 4 Pages

    Due to a declining student interest in academics and learning, the achievement scores of America’s students are the lowest in recorded history. School uniforms have cut down the distractions that keep students from learning in school (R. Ryan and T. Ryan 82). In a 2010 study, the University of Houston found that elementary school girls’ language arts test scores increased dramatically by about 3 percentile points after the uniforms were introduced to their school (ProCon). Students also view dress as a symbol of identification, self-expression, as well as a regulator of expected behavior. The authors of “The Students Dress Code Debate” state since adolescents communicate values and validate themselves through clothing, it is “reasonable to assume that values can be related to behavior.” An adolescent’s clothing choices are “a reflection of his or her abilities, personal qualities, or performance” (Swafford, Jolley, and Southward 10). Enforcing a dress code policy also reduces further distractions and makes the classroom a more serious

    High Schools across America have been enforcing strict dress codes for ages, however, where is the line drawn between distraction of one’s classmates, and degradation of one’s outward expression of their inner self. Freedom of expression is a civil liberty outlined within the first amendment in our nation’s constitution of which public school systems are bound to by the fact that they are in fact a government regulated agency. Clothing is a form of expression and thus students should have the right to dress the way they want to, with this comes first impressions and the ability of a free citizen to be able to make a statement however it is they please. Clothing has also become a huge part of culture throughout the world. Society has become

  • Homeschooling Thesis

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    Studies have shown year after year that homeschooled students consistently perform just as well as (or in many cases better than) traditionally schooled students on standardized academic exams. But very rarely does anyone ask why this is, or what caused the student to do so well, because they are usually too concerned with questions about the student’s social life or if they would be able to handle the transition into college. Therefore, my thesis statement is: Homeschooled students often achieve higher academic success and are more active in their communities than traditionally schooled students, due to a personalized approach to learning that emphasizes individuality. My research paper will debunk some popular myths about homeschooling, and give the real reasons why homeschoolers are so successful.

Many people do not believe in homeschooling because they do not trust that parents are teaching their children correctly. They argue that parents can’t teach their children without proper training and that without it. They also worry that students will not learn to socialize or function in society and that homeschooling is just a way to hide children from the real world. A lot of people fear homeschooling because they do not know very much about that form of education. On the other hand many peoples opinion is that homeschooling has many benefits and that it gives

  • The Benefits of Homeschooling

    1420 Words  | 3 Pages

    In today’s American society, quality education is important for one to succeed. Without proper education, a person will find it extremely difficult to apply for college, a job, or to pursue his or her dream. Typically when Americans think of education, public education is the first to come to mind. Public education has been around for centuries and is provided to most children throughout the United States. Due to this fact, public education has been the go to education source for years. Though, this trend is slowly changing with many parents deciding to home school their children instead. Many factors are the cause for this issue, but the common arguments arise from a certain few. For students, public school provides many opportunities ranging from social connections, school sports, and the exposure to teachers who are experts in their fields. But homeschooling is often superior because it offers additional time for students to participate in various extracurricular activities and community service, allows for more individual attention, personal character development, and it offers less exposure to discrimination that is received in the public school environment.

In this paper, topics such as academic impact, social impact, and parental opinions of home schooling will be discussed.
