[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you let an unschooled professional:  doctor, lawyer, architect, dentist, etc - do significant work for you or someone you love?  If you would, then you go on ahead and unschool all you want.  I'd much rather my professionals be taught the old fashioned way...where someone independent ensures the basics for the educational foundation are present.

Oh - and to the OP:  I DO think teachers are more skilled at teaching.  Yes, not all are great but teachers have to take courses, certify to teach, they are taught HOW to teach...parents are not.  Why do you think so many parents his driving school companies to teach their kids to drive?[/quote]

Have you ever asked a doctor where they attended elementary school. So yes, I would, because I have never asked.

The only doctor that I saw that I know what school he went to told me. I asked a few questions about the diagnosis and treatment and he said "I went to Harvard medical school you are welcome to get a second opinion." So I don't see him anymore, I had a simple question. Maybe interpersonal skills should be part of "tradition school" because he was clearly not qualified to be my doctor. I saw another doctor and was able to avoid surgery.[/quote]
