Sources for Orginal Argument Paper

I am writing my original argument paper on homeschooling. Homeschoolers are currently required to get higher scores on their SATs for college enrollment which is unequal and unfair. Here are my three of my sources:

1) scholarly article by Kima Payne Stewart and Richard A. Neeley titled "The Impact of Homeschooling Regulations on Educational Enrollments in the United States"- this source gives the cold hard facts about homeschooling and reveals how many states fall short in their homeschooling requirements through data and stats. I plan to use this as one of my anticipated objections that will help writing my rebuttal.

2) scholarly article by Michelle Wichers titled "Homeschooling: Adventitious or Detrimental for Proficiency in Higher Education"- this source expounds on a study done to see if homeschooled kids are able to academically compete at a college (or higher) level. The results were positive, showing that not only were homeschooled highschoolers at par, but many were above average in their education. I plan to use this solid evidence to aid in validating the credibility of homeschooling.

3) article (it might be scholarly?) by Julie Blair titled "College Admissions Adapts to Students Taught at Home"- this source shows a lot of the changes many universities have made for homeschooling. This source will be good to show how far America has come in allowing homeschooling and encourage people to take just a few more steps to make college admissions completely fair and equal for home schoolers so they have no disadvantage.
