As a college professor, I would disagree... I have seen enough failures of the homeschooled to say it isn't so... Again not in all cases, but in the vast majority!

They just don't have the skills...

I suspect you are getting the bottom of the barrell at your institution as the rest are far superior to the quality of student who attend your school.

"But the fact that parents aren't qualified to teach their children is a fact, especially in specialized courses..."

Our newly elected State Auditor, who is a CPA for 30 years is also not "qualified" to teach accounting in government schools because he lacks the required "certification". Yet I suspect he can teach accounting better than anyone on staff currently.

And I have seen enough home-school successes to say you are incorrect. I will agree, not every parent can teach...But most of my college instructors (including PhDs) couldn't teach either.

As a college professor,

That explains much.

But the correct wording is:

As a leftist college professor and admitted perpetrator of infanticide........

Check out this story. There is a quote from a school psychologist who claims the opposite:

As a college professor,

Thanks for explaining why you are so ignorant.

As a college professor you must be smart enough not to base a conclusion soley on a nonscientific sample. With your comment, I question your education.

as I 'college professor' I can see the 'skills' you have...

lets see,... inability to articulate, expressing opinion as fact, expressing 'fact' without sourcing, ignoring facts opposite to your opinion...
