``I'm not impressed with testing,'' she said. ``I don't think testing gives you a good picture of a child, really. I think it's very stressful on children to take tests. I don't find them necessary because I'm working with the children every day. I have a good handle on what they know.''

What is wrong with testing, it gives you a standard to teach from.

I have no problem with home schooling, as long as the parents are not idiots. My ex wanted to homeschool my daughter until she was convinced that someone who cannot multiply properly, or does not know when the civil war took places should not be home-schooling their children.
