Hello
I am looking for articles, literature, or website that against
homeschooling. I want to find out some facts (or close to facts) that why we
should NOT do homeschooling. I need this for my paired-debate speech. If
anybody knows something about this issue, please let me know. I appreciate
it.

Do your own homework. You can Google and check Amazon just as easily
as the rest of us.

In other words, for homework? The most I'll help you with is to suggest looking
up *any* homeschooling sites, and if all you get is the pro side, look at how
they defend themselves and figure out how they've been attacked before (e.g.,
if they are saying that homeschooling does not either make your ears turn
green, think of some reason why someone might think it did).

Thanks, but having graduated means I don't have to do homework anymore.

Sorry, I don't do my own children's homework. I'm not going to do yours.

Search engines are there for a reason.

Use them.

Your request is one of the better ones I've seen for the pro side of the
argument. Product reflects the system that made it and all.

Well, unless things have changed a great deal, part of the homework is
learning to find those resources. I suppose one technique is asking
someone else where it is - but you'd be better off to ask the librarian
to help you find it, because then at least you'll know what the search
looks like.

Although I may begin a search on line these days, I always end up in the
library sooner or later. Have you checked your library's card catelogue
(or whatever they call the on-line equivalent)? Look under stuff like
"educational options". Do you know how to use the Reader's Guide to
Periodic Literature? (That's another good place to start.)

Our libraries no longer subscribe to Reader's Guide because we have
moved to online periodical databases. The writer might have access
to those from home if her public library system or school library
system subscribes. We grant off site access to all of our students
and staff. Online or off, however, you are correct that periodicals
would be a good source of info on this particular topic.

want to stick to internet sites, surely you know how to use a search
engine. Try typing in "against homeschooling" -- I have no idea what
will turn up, and you'll have to evaluate the sites for usefulness, but
that's one place to begin.

Coming onto a parenting newsgroup and asking us to find the sites for
you is really no different than asking your mom or dad to find the sites
for you -- if they are helping appropriately, they might sit beside you
and walk you through it, but they won't just point!

Children won't care how much you know until they know how much you care


When I was at school/university asking someone who knows more than you was
considered a reasonable step in carrying out research. How do you lot know
that the OP hasn't already done a Google search, been to the library etc..
How do we know that he/she isn't just looking for more info on top of that?

Isn't asking a group of people who are guaranteed to be involved in
schooling (parents) a reasonable option? After all we try to encourage kids
to explore many avenues. Not everything is available on google.

I agree if this is all the research he/she plans to do then it is a bit
lazy, but we have no way of knowing that.

I wonder if the reaction would have been the same if the request had been
for positive homeschooling information.

Judy

Hey, guys! Can you at least give the kid some pointers on what words
might work best on google, whether there are any sites that are more
reputable, instead of just blowing her off? Getting started on the
internet, on a brand new topic, is NOT just as easy as using a search
engine.

I'd suggest starting with the AskERIC web site. (BUt you'll have to
google to find the URL.)

Part of the research process is asking questions. I had to interview
people for information when I was a kid. I would have been in a sorry
state if the people I chose to interview said "do your own homework."

And you know what? If she had asked to interview us, I'm sure she
would have gotten some enthusiastic responses. She didn't ask for
that. She asked us to do her basic research for her -- telling her
were to find articles, what books she should read, etc. She can do
that research just as well as the rest of us.
