Same old straw man argument about parents not having enough expertise to instruct their children. Yawn! Given the fact that homeschooled children outscore all other types of students in standardized testing, it seems that the the evidence does not support this expert's assertion. Why he gets it wrong is that his argument is based on the erroneous assumption that parents who are homeschooling their children are the only ones the children will be exposed to in their education. The reality is that homeschooling parents draw from a wider range of educational instruction than is available to the average public school. Not only do they have the freedom to pick out the best curriculum, but they can also avail themselves of local experts in various fields, or even through the internet. This article also assumes an education degree enables one to be an expert in education. We can all see how the public school record sinks that argument in a second. Finally, this article assumes that the classroom instruction model is the most effective educational environment whereas a mentoring model has been used for thousands of years and has trained the world's best thinkers, inventors, philosophers and leaders. Need I say mroe?
