Depends on your definition of "highly qualified". Here's the out the schools will be taking - The law allows the sd to provide an alternate method (HOUSSE) for experienced teachers to demonstrate subject-matter competency that recognizes, among other things, the experience, expertise, and professional training garnered over time in the profession.

In other words, teachers are going to rate teachers. You think one NEA member is going to fail another ? Fat chance.

Actually, you are misinformed. The NCLB act calls for all teachers to pass a subject-competency test.

Being against what is happening in our public schools is all well and good, but making things up and attacking people doesn't make anyone want to side with homeschoolers. They have a reputation and I'm afraid that it is well-deserved among the crowd here.
