Research Tied to Life

I'm doing research on something pertaining to homeschooling for our College Composition II class.  See, I am seriously considering homeschooling my daughters for most of their educational childhood.  In this way, I can give them a wholesome, positive environment in which to grow and learn.

Now, you might be wondering how this pertains to anything healthcare or medically related.  I'm sure you've heard of ADD and ADHD, right?  Well, when I was a child, I was diagnosed with ADD.  So my goal is to find out how beneficial homeschooling is to children with ADD.  I want to know which environment will be better for my daughter, who I'm sure has ADD.

By combining my genuine interest in this matter with academic course requirements, I am tackling two things at once.  First, my thirst for knowledge about homeschooling children with ADD will be satisfied, and the research for my final project will be completed.  The benifit of this combination is that my passion and enthusiasism for this topic will motivate me to complete the project with extra attention to detail.  I will become well-versed in the subject, and my writing in the paper will carry the tone of confidence in a job well done.

  1. I have a child with ADHD and there is no way I could homeschool her. For me personally I would perfer to send her to school. I was the one that push the fact that I wanted her tested for ADD. Once I found out that she has ADHD I took her in to the doctors to get her on some medication. boy if I forget to give her the medication she is driving the teachers crazy and I get a call asking if she has taken her medication today.
