2.    Category of Problem: sacrificing career to home school kids

3.    Level of Problem: National

4.    The article concerns: This will mainly affect women since women are the main ones that home school children.

5.    This highly affects families because most families need both parents to work in order to have enough money to live. This also affects mainly women since women are the ones that traditionally do the home schooling.

6.    My concerns: I disagree with Ron Paul saying should sacrifice their career to home school their children. Paul’s reasoning for wanting to home school kids is to teach them about what is really happening with our government to ensure that we would be able to create leaders one day out of these kids. I personally do not think that home schooling will help that issue. Paul should be going to the school board members and the individual states if he is trying to change the curriculum. The states are the ones that have control over the education. Not only that but many women need to work in order to provide for their family. There are a lot of single mothers out there who cannot afford to give up their job because they need that money to live off of.
