The solution to public education's problem is simple.
If a parent teacher wants the responsibility of teaching their child then they should have to take a test in the basic core subjects to prove that they have the ability to do so. I'm talking english [sic], math, science, geography, history, and physical education.
In Buffalo, NY every few years they give the teachers a competency test to see if the teachers have enough of a mastery of the subject material to graduate from the high school they teach.
Without fail, many teachers fail. The resultant screams of *Racism* would be funny if it weren't so sad.
They don't deny that the teachers failed, that they could not graduate from high school THEMSELVES. Nope, they make it a race issue.
To pretend that teachers actually have a mastery of the subject is ludicrous.
Do not even try to convince anyone that your ability to sit in a church an hour a week and read your bible at bible study makes you qualified to teach the required school subjects to the expected standards.
Issues with Christians, eh? That shows through loud and clear.
You just disqualified yourself from being taken seriously on the issue because you just demonstrated your absolutely abysmal ignorance about homeschooling and homeschoolers.
I have been told that in the state of West Virginia one has to at least have a college degree in anything to be able to homeschool. I do not know if this is true. Others have told me one can homeschool up to the grade one completed. Ie if you completed up to the 10th grade then you may homeschool your child to that level.
Nan do you know?
Either way I know homeschooled kids at Wal Mart. They don’t act like a bunch of nimrods in the check out line.

It this state they do. It is the CBEST test and they must pass it before they can even be a substitute teacher.

Not at all but just because someone can quote the bible chapter and verse does not indicate in any way that they can teach chemistry or trig. Can you really argue with that. We can both take these tests to find out the truth. I’ll even take a test on bible knowledge with you. You just might get a big surprise.
