Wow! What an inflated opinion of yourself! Has it occurred to you that there are THOUSANDS of non-teachers who spend their days teaching? They are found in all areas of business and in the health professions. Their teaching is just as vital to the well=being of children and adults as yours. I did "go teach". I homeschooled 3 children until college. Do you know when they enrolled in college? At the ages of 13, 12, and 13. Two graduated at the ages of 18 with B.S. degrees in mathematics. The older of these earned a masters in math at the age of 20. All finished all general college requirements by the age of 15 and all levels of calculus to Calc III. The oldest is a national ranked athlete with a heavy travel and training schedule. He majored in business. He also spent 2 years in Eastern Europe on a church assignment and returned home completely FLUENT in Russian. Despite this eclectic experience he will finish his degree at the same age as his schooled contemporaries. Besides that, now that I am in the workforce, my entire day is spent teaching, both employees and patients.

Translation: "I raised 3 children who were precocious geniuses, so I must be a whole lot smarter than any of you people here. NYAH NYAH NYAH"
