Abstract
Among educators, child psychologists, and sociologists, the question of home schooling versus public schooling is one of the most controversial subjects of the last few decades. The problem is, however, that there is research supporting one-and only one-side of this argument. The term "public school" is somewhat misleading, as it is, in fact, possible for most primary and secondary schools-including home schools-to qualify for its literal definition. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica Online's Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a public school is "a free tax-supported school controlled by a local governmental authority". Similarly, they define "home school" as "to teach school subjects to one's children at home". In practice, "home school" is also used as a noun, to designate the organizations under which many parents home school their children.
