[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They aren't even required to be certified or even educated.  The school doesn't have to use accepted practices or have a suitable curriculum. A private school is basically expensive daycare unless someone  cares to make it otherwise. [/quote]

I mean, they're right.  Hopefully as a parent you do due diligence and identify programs that meet the needs of your child, but from a government standpoint there are basically no requirements.  In VA in particular, all you need to do to open a "private school" is open your doors 180 days, take attendance, and keep immunization records.

Obviously most schools go way above and beyond, but you don't even technically need a HS diploma to teach HS.[/quote]
