Recommendations for Homeschooling Studies
It is time to expand homeschooling studies beyond the typical examinations of academic achievement, student socialization, and parental motivation to homeschool. The findings from this study introduced new avenues of inquiry that may be worth pursuing including investigations into the emotionally-charged interactions between parents and students and the lack of writing instruction among some homeschooling families. Based on these discoveries, I would recommend two future studies:

How do students handle these interactions? Are academic subjects dropped due to
tensions between parents and students?
Another valuable homeschooling study could revolve around why some parents do not teach writing. For instance, the study could begin with a brief survey sent to 500+
homeschooling families asking how many homeschooling parents teach writing, how they teach it, and with what frequency it is taught, followed up by a multiple case study of families who do 199 not teach writing. Some questions to be addressed could include the following: What reasons factor into an avoidance of teaching writing?What is the writing self-efficacy of those students who have not been formally taught writing?

BOS 3640 Interactions of Hazardous Material

Your MPP management team is not familiar with the requirements of OSHA’s PSM standard. Although it will be several weeks before OSHA provides the formal PSM inspection report and findings, you plan to proactively schedule an internal follow-up meeting with your management team and operations supervisors to prepare them for what to expect, including possible citations and fines for violations of the PSM standard. At a minimum, the questions below need to be addressed at this meeting.

Discuss the purpose of OSHA’s PSM standard, including why it was initially implemented and its scope. Explain why MPP’s pulp mill manufacturing process is considered a covered facility under OSHA’s PSM standard. Identify which hazardous material(s) used at the pulp mill facility exceed the threshold quantities (TQ) shown in 29 C.F.R. § 1910.119 Appendix A.

Describe an oxidizer. Identify at least three oxidizers used at this MPP facility, and discuss their potential hazards to human health and the environment. Based on the OSHA 8-hour permissible exposure limit (PEL)/time-weighted average (TWA) for your three identified oxidizers, which one would pose the greatest threat to human health? Explain why, and elaborate on how you should respond if this oxidizer is accidentally released.

Review the OSHA inspector’s preliminary observations, and provide recommendations regarding how MPP can improve their compliance with at least three elements of OSHA’s PSM standard. Each recommendation you provide must discuss the noncompliance issue(s) observed, the specific PSM standard requirement, and what program changes need to be implemented to improve your company’s PSM compliance.

Your paper must be at least three pages in length, not including your title page and references page. You are required to cite the course textbook, the OSHA PSM standard, and at least two other sources in your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced. Paraphrased or quoted materials must have accompanying in-text citations and references in APA format. Please adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.

You are required to include one quote from the text (with an MLA in-text citation) in each original post, to use as evidence of your analysis.
