Note that California does NOT allow “credentialed” teachers from other states to teach in its schools.
CA, like many states, is screaming for teachers. Are you sure it doesn’t recognize credentials from other states ?
When I got my CA secondary teaching credential, there were no “education” majors.
The requirement at that time was a “regular” Bachelors with one (or more) major areas of study and a minor.
Education courses were not in the undergraduate curriculum but, rather, consisted of one full year of graduate school which included reading a lot of gobbledygook (aka education “theory”) and student teaching.
I’m not an anti-homeschooler, but I’d still make an argument for the socialization and interaction aspects of being in a school setting with a wide variety of other children.
And the educational value inherent in that.
However, if I had young children today, placing them in many public schools would be hugely problematical. And if parents are willing and able to “homeschool” have at it.
Just don’t cast it (homeschooling) as some religious end all and be all.
That fanaticism isn’t good for your children, either.
