You have choices to make about how you will educate your five children who are spread out in ages from age 7 to age 32. You have a child at each of these institutional levels: elementary, middle, high school, undergraduate, and graduate. Your choices include public schools, private schools, online virtual schools, hybrid schools that combine place based schools with online education, and homeschooling.

Write a 250- to 300-word response to the following:

• Research and summarize a peer-reviewed journal article that helps you build a case for each selection for each child in your family. Cite the article in APA style.
