If a parent teacher wants the responsibility of teaching their child then they should have to take a test in the basic core subjects.

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

Issues with Christians, eh?

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.

“If a parent teacher wants the responsibility of teaching their child then they should have to take a test in the basic core subjects.”

So, should they be required to take a test to even become parents? Parents are teaching their children every day - you want the government to regulate who can and can’t have children?

But I'm not the one who brought that up. It was used as a slam against homeschoolers, stereotyping them as ignorant Bible thumpers. Stereotyping homeschoolers seems to be what public school advocates are best at.

As would you......

Chemistry and trig? High school level stuff. Stuff any other high school graduate could teach.
