Homeschooling

What an utterly awful article.

Good thing the NEA puts that disclaimer at the bottom. They would go from zero respect from to a negative balance, if possible.

This guy is a pompous ass, implying that, judging from his words, "professionals" such as teachers are better trained to teach my kids than I am (a wannabe). Like 4 or 5 years at a crappy college learning liberal BS is what it takes to teach children.

I know many teachers. They are good people. Some shouldn't be teaching at all, though (McKenzie, you're not included here). Shot, many fail the same proficiency exams the kids are supposed to pass.

And isn't teacher to student ratio such an important thing for education? So what's better than 1 teacher to 1, 2 or 3 students?

-I would have more time to concentrate only on my child(children) than a teacher.

-My child moves at his pace, not the pace of the slowest child in the class.

-I care more about my child and his education than ANY teacher could.

-My child can get plenty of the "needed socialization skills" by playing with children nearby and being involved in sports leagues or other such things(music etc).

And to top this article off, theck out the bottom where it tells us who wrote it.

A head custodian. Nothing wrong with being a custodian. But that is FAR from an education expert.
