Things You'll Need:

-
Step 3
After writing these homeschooling variables on a sheet of paper, add a rating scale of 1 to 5 at the bottom of your list with 1 being most negative effects and 5 most positive effects.

Step 4
Now assign a rating to each trait or variable based on information gathered regarding negative effects of homeschooling.
