With the decline in quality in education in America and sheer chaos holding the day in many American classrooms…
A dedicated parent (credentialed or not) wanting to teach his or her own children could hardly be a step down.
Yes, teacher certification programs can be a waste of time. At least when I went through, one entire year of graduate school was required for a lifetime secondary teaching credential in the state of California.
And it was a lot of BS theorizing (“educators” seem to love that stuff) and really not much assessment of competency in the areas of study for which I was credentialed. For life, anyway
