I have two questions for you.
1. Who decides if a parent is qualified?
2. What is your profession, since you said you were giving your professional opinion?
1. State law places the responsibility of deciding the curriculum with the state department of education (in any state). Whether we like it or not, we are a nation of laws. Therefore, whether the homeschool proponents like it or not, the state decides.
2. I am a teacher. I have a degree from one of the top programs in the nation. I do understand that being a teacher automatically disqualifies me in the minds of some homeschool proponents. As I said before, I am not against homeschooling. I have however, personally seen what happens when someone who is not qualified to do it attempts to do so, and what happens when a parent merely removes their child from school without educating them.
Therefore, I stand by my view that homeschooling is a great choice for some, but absolutely a wrong choice for others. I am not criticizing anyone for wanting to homeschool, nor am I criticizing the many fine parents who take it seriously and do an excellent job.
