The Final Project
Throughout this course we are examining methods of persuasion. The great
issues of our day are far from being resolved, but effective persuasion
can begin to build consensus. Your Final Project requires you to tackle
a current controversial issue with multiple valid positions and use
persuasion to convince your audience that your position on the issue is
correct. The written portion of your Final Project must be six to eight
pages of content (not including title and reference pages) and can
include multimedia, interactive video, pictures, commercials, movie
scenes, web links, etc. to bolster your opinions. Your paper should
incorporate the latest methods of persuasion to prove your points to
your instructor. You are encouraged to find a topic that you feel
passionate about. The list provided is just to help you with the sorts
of ideas that may be appropriate for your project. You are not limited
to these topics, but please consult your instructor if you have any
questions about a proper topic for this assignment.

Explanation & Answer
This is your answer buddy. I really wish I had more time for research. I have had to rush through the thing and work to the best of my abilities. Feel free to ask for changes.
Parents are dissatisfied with public education
Not possible for everyone to afford private
schooling or even private tutors
Homeschooling is witnessing a new-found
acceptance
No longer a peripheral and rare concept
Becoming an increasingly legitimate education
option
Thesis: homeschooling is good because it can let
a parent choose curriculum, include religion and
values, promote community group involvement
and present the student with an opportunity for
individualization.
85000 students were homeschooled in 1999
2003, the number had grown to 1.1 million
2007, the number was 1.5 million
Today -2.3 million home-educated students
in the United States (NCES. Issue Brief. 2008)
George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt
,Abraham Lincoln , Thomas Edison, and
Albert Einstein were homeschooled (Clark,
C.S. 1994)
Helps the parents in
monitoring their child's
learning as well as overall
development
Helps in positive social
opportunities for children
and prevents them from
being stigmatized
Homeschooling can help
in achieving academic
success irrespective of
financial condition,
religion, race or ethnicity
Homeschooling helps the
parents to choose a
curriculum
Homeschooled

tolerant
They have more
secure personalities
Drugs, peer pressure and overall negative
environment
Homeschooled adults
◦ Participate more in local community service
◦ Vote and attend public meetings

a very high rate as adults (ray, B.D. 2016)
