What a joke when home school mom's with only high school educations have consistently had their children outscore public educated kids taught by teachers with those credentials you think are so grand!

What credentials were those, specifically? And "mom's" does not need an apostrophe, ducky.

If you read carefully, I have stated that someone should know a subject before teaching it.

Is this concept too deep for you, sunshine?

You won’t encounter a lot of teachers that have a depth in math and science when teaching these classes in Pub School. Kind of like the Coach teaching Health. Regardless, the Ed students I’ve encountered in College haven’t instilled me with much confidence for their teaching ability.

Our homeschool has a BA in Art doing most of the teaching.

She has on call a BS/MS Nuclear Engineer and MS Mathematical Finance to help out.

In reality, homeschools don’t need this kind of firepower. What they have on their side instead are parents that care and are deeply involved in the education of their children.

These parents have excellent curricula to pull from with homeschool designed teacher guides. The Moms are very capable with these tools to keep up with the subject matter.
