[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My biggest problem with homeschooling is that parents are not trained educators. If we are going to require compulsory schooling for children (and I think universal schooling is just about the best idea that came out of the last century), then we should require that the people who educate children have the skills and training to do it.[/quote] That rules out most of the private schools in the area too. Teaching 25 children at once, in an efficient manner that allows every kid to get the attention they need and differentiated instruction, is, in my opinion, a task that requires a fair amount of training. Teaching 1 or 2 kids, when you have curricula available, is very manageable for someone with a college education, at least through 8th grade. Since most homeschoolers I know use many outside resources in high school, whether it's online courses, or community college courses, or internships, I think they're fine too.[/quote]
