[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the school allows for kids to go to school who would otherwise be homeschooled, I am all for it. Re: homeschooling, how it is legal for children to be taught in isolation, or with minimal socialization, by people with no training, oftentimes without a college degree? [/quote]

You should do a bit of reading on modern homeschooling.  Your views aren't a realistic description of the experience at all, with one exception.  Most of us don't think that the "training" involved in an education degree is useful or necessary to teaching small groups of children, so aren't worried about lacking that credential.  Since we're on the private school forum, apparently there are quite a few parents who believe content knowledge and experience gained on the job are more important than education degrees.[/quote]

I don't understand your last sentence, can you explain? An education degree is not required at all, but ANY degree. College is hugely important for learning about the diversity of the world, for learning how to be independent, and for learning to have empathy for those who are different than you. [/quote]
