My Research Process :)

My research process is going well. I am going to discuss the question "Should homeschooling be allowed in America?". First of all, I started looking for different sources. I used the Foothill Library search machine and looked for interesting article in the New York Times and CQ Researcher. I wanted to use a variety of different sources. CQ Researcher was very useful because it provides some articles with statistical evidence which are related to my topic "Homeschooling." I was spending minimum 1 hour with reading articles about homeschooling every day. I found 16 different articles and 2 articles with statistics. Even through all articles are very interesting I will be not able to use all of them. The way, points, pro arguments and counter arguments are very hard to find and often not in the way connected how I want to use them. I think it takes long for me to choose the right information from the articles and the most useful ones. Therefore it is very important for me to find clear arguments against homeschooling and for homeschooling.

  2. Also...you might try searching for related topics. Similar to what I did with the community-based solutions. One more thing...think about your question. It seems very broad. Can you narrow it down? Maybe something like 'should there be stricter standards for homeschooling in the US?' since we know it is already allowed.
