Do Homeschoolers Need Teaching Credentials?

I was raised in the California Educational system. I graduated with a BS in Business from a Private College in California. I had fabulous teachers and I had terrible teachers. One of my public school teachers threw a book and knocked over a table out of frustration. Another public school teacher would say vile things to classmates and I making several kids cry during/after class. A private school instructor purchased books for me out of her own pocket when my luck was down in college. I want parents in this free country to have an option to remove their children from vile educational systems if it is needed. I want children to be able to escape non-educated or abusive parents with ease. Why does it always have to be one way or another? Why does the government who can’t balance a check book and whose members are under constant observation for moral and political corruptness think they know what is best for our future and the little minds who will lead it? I apologize…I didn’t vote for many of those who are making decisions in our state/country.

Everything I know was acquired from a delightful combination of private and public educational resources. Why not offer our children the world instead of limiting them to one path or another?

I applaud everyone who has written and hope that parent’s continue to stay involved in one of the most important political issues affecting our future.
