[Khepera]

Once again I will say its none of your concern. You do not say what is best for other people’s children. This is the basic definition of Freedom. The Freedom to know and, freedom not to know something. The Freedom to do and, freedom not to do something. Your concern is only for yourself. The state of affairs of others is out of your range. These people are "Free" to do as they please.

My answer (if you read my original post)was not to tell anybody what to do. My response was that I was concerned that some parents may not be competent to teach. Did you read my first post? If you have an opinion here on FR, then so do I. What's your problem?

Khepera....."free to be a moron"........"free to be a floor sweeper"........."freedom to be illiterate"........as long as it's "free"- and such ignorance will make said believer in such a ward of the state, and thus, a PARASITE- take heart, Khepera will defend "freedom to be stoopid and sponge off society". Oversight or accountability at even a minimal level? That flies in the face of Kephera's dream world, where every parent (whether they're a crack addict or retarded) is equally qualified to educate their children. I don't , not for a minute, suggest that "government knows best" or "some public school bureaucrat knows best", but is it not reasonable to propose that a math teacher be able to add/subtract, a history teacher be able to discuss the Civil War, etc?? I simply think that parents who care enough (and I think the world of those who sacrifice and have the talent to homeschool) to homeschool should possess at least a minimal proficiency level. Isn't the goal of education to enable a child to be equipped to fend for himself one day? I don't want to be saddled with paying for Trailer Bob's 13 children , cuz all Trailer Bob knew was how to procreate. He were homeskewled by 4th grade edjikated purents, they wur prowd of there free-dumb to doo as dey saw feet. /sarcasm
