Why do you need to slam on home schooling?

Because the majority of people home schooling their kids are not qualified to teach. The only real reason to home school kids is if the school they would be sent to is too dangerous (like most Detroit public schools).

Are you going to try to tell us that most people home schooling their kids have their teaching certificates?
The only bs is thinking that some homebody is going to do a better job than someone who has had years of training on how to teach. I'm sure they may be an exception here and there. But the majority....no.
So kindly STFU until you have something intelligent to contribute.

Sorry to hijack this thread but...
You must be finding it hard to find any stats to back up your statement... let me help you Nommad.
"Teachers have a responsibility to be informed before their opinion is forced on children. Research the grades, test scores, comparisons and college stats before informing some unwitting soul that public school is better. My children have been allowed to learn at their own pace and pursue their own interests and now test well above their grade levels and the national averages across the board. Most homeschoolers do as well. They score an average of one grade level higher than P.S. students their age on national scholastic achievement tests, They watch 65% less TV than P.S. children, and are more involved in community and extra curricular activities. 98% of homeschoolers are involved in two or more organized outside activities (such as sports, music, dance etc.) They are allowed to gain moral values from their home and not the children they sit with in the crowed cafeteria so are 50 times less likely to get pregnant before marriage, 35 times less likely to have an alcohol-related incident before the age of 21 and 46 times less likely to try illegal drugs. The proof is in the pudding. Answers to this question should not be considered when coming from someone whose paychecks depend on the decision NOT to homeschool your children."
WikiAnswers - Is homeschooling better than public schools
Please note the one's that are against it like CoSpartan or a poster on this thread are biased teachers... or people that are plain jealous.

No.
In your world, is this supposed to be an insult?
Methinks you must have dropped out in 2nd grade and was raised by jackals.
