Discipline: Education

Academic Level: High school
Paper Format: MLA
Question
All parents want the best education possible for their children. But, what exactly does that look like? What is the best method or vehicle for delivering a high quality education? Some options are definitely getting more attention in the media and are much more hotly contested because of potential impacts to education policy and funding.
Step 1: Do some internet research on each of the following methods of educational delivery. Consider the pros and cons of each.
- Public school
- Private school
- Home school
- Charter school
Step 2: (2-3 paragraphs) In your opinion (which is hopefully based on research or experience), which of these methods is most effective in supporting children's learning and development? Specifically, why is this one method/type of school superior to the others. Use research (and personal experiences) to back up your responses. Be sure to cite or include links to the research that is referenced. NOTE: BEING A PARENT DOES NOT NECESSARILY GIVE YOU AN ADVANTAGE FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. THIS ASSIGNMENT IS FOCUSED ON HAVING AN INFORMED OPINION ABOUT SCHOOLS NOT BASED ON WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST FOR YOUR CHILD.
