The main idea of this article was to tell the authors opinon of why public school is a negative. Being very biased, the author stated these specific reasons why:
A regular school going child cannot read literature. He cannot keep silent or think in depth about any one thing. The artificial ‘busy’ness imposed upon him by the school disallows quiet contemplation. Rowdy and destructive behavior, as seen among peers, is more noticeable in school-goers.
Though these are valid points I feel they need to be proven with more facts. With more in-depth reaserch, I could find more information about homeschool and public school.

You could use this article in one of three ways. If you were supporting public schools, it would be great for showing the views of the opposing side. If you were supporting homeschooling, on the other hand, it would give more weight to your own opinions. If you were remaining unbiased, it could be used for either of these things without the addition of your own beliefs. Just make sure you find facts to back these claims up. In a research paper you cannot claim something is true just because somebody said it. You have already addressed this, and I’m sure it would be easy for you to find evidence backing up some of the points this article makes.
