[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homeschooler here. I know my own limitations, and would not attempt to teach high school level physics or chemistry to my own children... I'll send them to the local community college for those types of courses if I can not find an appropriate teacher/tutor among the homeschoolers that I know. When someone insinuates, however, that I'm not qualified to teach my six year old and nine year old children (after going through 12 years of public school and several semesters of college), then they are basically saying that the public school system taught me squat. Which, if that were true, would be one reason for not wanting one's own children in said system, right?[/quote]

What? Saying you are not qualified to teach is not the same as saying the public school system taught you squat. My neighbor is very smart and well educated. She's a good attorney. But when I needed a root canal I didn't call her. Saying you are not qualified to do a certain job doesn't mean you are stupid or public school failed you. It means you are not qualified for every job.

Your logic is deeply flawed.[/quote]

What's flawed is your own logic and argument tactics. We're not asking an attorney to do a root canal. We're asking an educated mother to teach her six-year-old math. Of course she can do that. Most people can do that who have a basic education.[/quote]
