Extractions: Pros and Cons of Educational Options In Arkansas, the compulsory attendance law requires children ages 5-17 to be in school. Parents have three options in providing for the education of their children: public school, private school and home school. A decision of this magnitude involving the education of your child deserves careful study and calm reflection. All three options have advantages and disadvantages to be weighed carefully. Public education offers the following advantages: It is already paid for by taxes which are mandatory whether a child is educated in the public schools or not. Public education offers a well-accepted path to a recognized high school diploma, and offers assistance in continuing education in college with some scholarship opportunities not available outside public education. Public education institutions have good resources for teaching: laboratories, trained personnel, administration, etc. Public education institutions offer many opportunities for extracurricular activities, which are usually not available to those outside public education. Transportation to and from school, and even to some extracurricular activities is available.
Extractions: Research shows that parents do influence their children's decisions about sex. Children who have a strong connection to their parents are more likely to postpone intercourse, have fewer sexual partners and use contraception consistently. Yet, research also shows that parents often underestimate the effectiveness of condoms for pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). But, with teen pregnancy rates and diseases, it is so important for parents to have the knowledge to raise sexually healthy children. Parents should communicate their values about sex, love and relationships early and often as well as recognize that young people want more than just the "body parts' conversation.
