[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I received an excellent 1-12 education. I learned nothing in college. [/b]Not sure why OP thinks 4 year degree is needed to teach 1-12.[/quote]

I don’t believe that you went to college, but I do believe that you watch a LOT of Fox News. Enjoy living in your own manipulated ignorance. [/quote]

NP.

*shrug* I have two Master's degrees (cross my heart), and neither of them is of any use to me. I can safely say that I learned nothing of essence in college LOL

I don't have cable TV, so don't bother with the Fox News bashing.

Enjoy living in your own, heavily manipulated, I assure you, ignorance :wink: [/quote]

[b]College teaches you critical thinking and exposes you to all sorts of ideologies and philosophies[/b], not just facts and figures. Did you really not get anything out of college?[/quote]

It really doesn't. Not the current American higher education anyway.

I certainly got something out of college. I found a good husband. I have fancy letters after my name, but never use them, because my work has absolutely nothing with any of my academic credentials.

FYI,[b] I made some quick cash with tutoring a highly technical subject during the first years of college [/b](basically, right out of high school). Trust me, a well-prepared high school grad is fully capable to teach for multiple choice testing this educational system is a slave to.[/quote]
OP will now make a point that you had abilities because you want to college and those, who didn't, lack those abilities. She, somehow believes, that being in a bad school is better.[/quote]

DP.  There are actually a bunch of us who think homeschooling is by and large terrible for the kids involved, if only that they can't get what they need to survive in life.  And FYI, it's great that PP was a "well-prepared" high school grad who was capable of reaching 1-12.  But I would absolutely wager that a kid that is prepared out of high school for the responsibilities of teaching children is the exception rather than the rule.

How many homeschooling parents are so well-prepared?  That's right, **you don't know**.  Abuse, incompetence, idiots run rampant and unchecked.  Look at the Turpins.  [/quote]
