I've chosen homeschooling as my first topic. When I introduce the new topic for each week, I will give a short statement of my current position before arguing for the "opposite side." On this topic I tend to lean toward "traditional" schooling--that is, in a classroom setting with other children.
I think the main reason I'm not totally sold on homeschooling yet is because I know of several cases where the parents homeschooled simply because they wanted their child to make As. So they'd let their child take and retake quizzes and tests until they got As. That rubs me the wrong way for some reason...
However, I realize these are just a couple cases in millions, which is exactly why I want to listen to the other side.
