Question

I need to develop a researchable topic on home schooling?

Answer 1

The negative effects of homeschooling

The adult life of a child who was homeschooled

College and University acceptance of homeschooled children

The difficulties of homeschooling

You could do a debate of positives and negatives

Answer 2

home schooling provides many opportunities to students as a viable alternative to conventional schooling, and colleges actually seek out home schooled students.

Some of the "items" mtnglo mentions are not an issue with home schooled students, and the last three I would view as a positive to a child's education not a negative component.
