Faith, I would advise you to please create an introductory statement that gives an overview of the topic being discussed and some basic supporting and non supporting points of discussion that you will deal with in the paper before you go into your personal point of view. That is because this paper lacks a hook with which to entice a reader to find out what you have to say about something.
The home schooled student has an amazing advantage to public schooled students. First, parents who teach their children at home have the opportunity to customize their child's education for his needs and interest. Because of the one on one instruction early on, the home schooled child can often advance ahead of their public schooled peers. Some even graduating from college as young as sixteen. As mentioned is Bee and Boyd's book, The Developing Child, surveys show that most parents believe that they can do a better job educating their children then the public schools can (2010).

Is this supposed to be a research paper? What format is it supposed to be in? APA? MLA? I need to know the format so that I can tell if you are referencing sources in the correct format.-
This discussion can be further developed depending upon the source of the information. Try to use a pro and con approach in every statement. That way you discuss both issues simultaneously. This will make for a highly informative research paper.Children educated at home can adapt to social situations easier than those who receive a public education. Contrary to popular belief, the social life of home education students is very well rounded. These children learn how to relate to a variety of people and age groups rather than only relating to their peers like most public schooled students. Because of their varied social background these students are more qualified and dependable in the workforce. Growing up with more responsibilities around the home makes them more apt to take initiative. They have a higher level of respect for themselves and others, making them confident employees.

Try to support this statement with verifiable academic evidence. Peer reviewed journals would give this statement a factual appearance.The drawback we see in home education is the reduction of income for single income families, more opportunities for conflict between parent and child, and the balancing of time commitments to teach effectively (Online Source, psychologytoday). Children who grow up in families with less income can be more creative and innovative with the resources provided. Having to work through conflict with parents gives them excellent practice in dealing with the real world conflicts they will face. Learning how to balance their time is an invaluable skill.
Having the strong and close support of their families during the crucial character forming years builds true confidence that is greatly lacking in today's society. Those that graduate early can quickly become excellent employees and employers, becoming useful members of society giving what they learn back to the world around them.

Again, I need to know the research format for this paper so I can double check the in-text citation format.This is a very good topic for discussion specially with the rise of school violence. That said, I noticed that you did not write a closing statement to wrap up your discussion. It would be in your best interest to write a strong closing statement in support of your stand so that the paper can be considered well researched and your professor can fully understand if you grasped the meaning of the prompt and the research material you quoted.
