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.
No, I believe you are misinformed. The subject competency test involves only teachers at the 7th grade and up levels. And the source I cite very specifically notes the place in the NCLB law where teachers can pass an "alternative" assessment - assessment by one (or more) of their peers, rather than a standardized test. As I pointed out, that is not even a pretense at an objective assessment of knowledge.
You misread my post and objected to what I did not say. Read it again, and go read the law. You'll see the alternative I mentioned.
Sorry, it's not me "making things up", in your words. And no, I didn't see any attacks here that were of a personal nature. I saw a lot of calls for sources for statistics that seemed to be out of whack with most peoples' experience. Rather, if you look at the posts, you'll see one teacher who got very defensive when asked to explain himself. That's what a lot of us object to in teachers - they act like mini-gods, and attack when asked to explain themselves.
