Homeschooling is better than Public School

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the mistakes I made and am very sorry my opponent was unable to read it. ""Since homeschooling would not work for some students, it is wrong to say that it is better"" It is a significant amount of people it would not work for hence only 3% of children are home schooled. At the beginning you said "" For clarification purposes, I am homeschooled and am arguing that homeschooling is superior in every way to public school."" You therefore imply that that home schooling is the better form of education for everyone because you have generalised. You fail to exclude anyone in society from your statement, you therefore imply even the children who have drug dealers as parents would be better of being home schooled. ""I am not sure why my opponent has said that I have not used examples from other countries."" Please use a quote I am struggling to find where I said you didn"t use examples from other countries. I simply pointed out home schooling south Korea is not the better form of education. Therefore contradicting your statement" For clarification purposes, I am homeschooled and am arguing that homeschooling is superior in every way to public school."" "" I never took a government test until 9th grade, I aced it by the way,"" good for you I bet your mother was very proud. Unsure of the relevance of 1 person doing well in 1 set of exams so I will put this point down to personal vanity. ""Just because something doesn't work in some select situations doesn't mean that it isn't better."" I agree. Let"s follow on with that, about 1.5 million children are home schooled out of approximately 50 million so the parents of 50 million children believe there children are better in a public school. You say "" some select situations"" so why do 50 million attend public schools ?. "" the privatized ones, which are just as valid"" irrelevant you have not used these figures in your argument. "" I bet a lot of that refusal rate comes from. The 42% that did take those tests were probably high schoolers"" Totally unsupported argument personal view with no evidence. Figures are still highly likely to be distorted. ""Mock trial competitions, debate meetings, baseball league, basketball league, drama and acting, and marine biology."" In school you interact with people thought the day both in a work environment and in a social environment you may be a part of clubs but this does not provide the same experience because only 3 % of the population is home schooled you will be considered an outsider. ""Although I am a Creationist and a Christian, all homeschoolers are not religious."" ." the most common reason parents gave as the most important was a desire to provide religious or moral instruction (36 per cent of students) while 83% said it was an important reason. Clearly most parents have a motive to bring the child up to believe in creationism and therefore present the information in a biased manor. Summary Most parents (97%) still believe public school is the best place for their children. Internationally parents and students do no believe home schooling is better that is why it is very uncommon. Pro has used flawed statistics to make his argument. Key motivation is religious not for the child"s education. Facts presented in a biased way to enable the parents to manipulate the child .
