Maybe some of us are just frustrated because of all the teachers we've met who insist it's so hard to teach kids that only a trained professional could do it and any parent who dares try to educate their own kid is going to handicap them. Or paying for a worthless, failing system and then paying double to make sure our kids actually get educated.

Yeah it's a cakewalk, I plan to be a teacher one of these days. When I have kids and homeschool them. And we won't take all summer off either.

And you won't have administration breathing down your neck every time you want to do something creative, either.

And you won't have 50 uninvolved, uneducated parents complaining that Johnny is failing, even though they haven't ever asked him why he doesn't bring a book home, either.

And you won't be judged by the number of kids who refuse to work in class and drop out, either.

My parents found ways to work around all of these obstacles in the first few years. If you've got it all figured out, don't hide your light under a bushel for your own kids. Jump right in, get a teaching job, and show 'em how it's done. Then come back here and post that it's a cakewalk.
