Are you a teacher or an education major? ( Just wondering.)
It is true that everyone is entitled to an opinion. HOWEVER, not all opinions are valid or entitled to respect.
You were the one castigating homeschooling parents for not knowing something before they taught their children. In elevating “teaching credentials” to such a high status, you fell into your own hole, because education schools are the laughingstock at most colleges and universities. They are inadequate, as Dr. Sowell points out in his book.
I’m sure your local library can get a copy for you. Read it. Then your opinion will be informed, rather than uninformed. Teaching credentials are not worth the paper. It’s the teacher that determines the value s/he brings to the table, whether credentialed or not.
The proof is in the pudding. Homeschooled children score much higher on average than public school children. Challenge that statement and I will locate the data that proves it. I have it around here someplace. But if you challenge it, you WILL lose the argument as I pepper you with facts that prove credentials add nothing to the equation.

humblegunner, humblegunner..... you should of come out of the box by now! Yes...sigh...you can have an opinion, but remember, we need to base our opinions on something tangible...like facts.
There was this time in history when everyone believed the world was flat. Now, since we know the world is round, we don’t have to debate this anymore! See how that works? Same thing with your opinions. Once someone showing you facts and logic prove your opinions to be bogus, (1)you can say “yea-that does makes sense”, or, (2)you can be like the robin in the spring that keeps pecking the window. Don’t be the robin!
