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.

Fine, you win.

Homeschooled kids are like unto gods and mine are just regular dogs.

Happy now?

Some lardass mother with good intentions and a high school
diploma can turn her little rats into geniuses at the blink of an eye.

Got it.

I'll trot my boys outside now and instruct them in ditch digging.

If you have that data on hand please ping me? I know its fact but I'd love to pour over the data. Good ammo to have on hand. I've a lot of faith in our young home schooled Americans.
The high schools in Boston are a horrible mess. Just depresses me to no end.
