(53,475 posts)... but how is it "not my call"?
I'm not trying to make a "call" on whether or not any individual parent(s) decide to homeschool or not, but.....
How many parents are skilled in education techniques for children of all ages?
How many are up-to-speed on math, science, social studies, language, etc.? And I mean knowledgeable about ALL the various disciplines as taught to tots, teens and in-betweens?
I know several high-school teachers who indicate it's a small challenge to keep current in their own discipline, let alone get current and keep current in EVERY discipline.
No doubt there are some very competent parents out there, but I'll stick with my assertion that very, very few are skilled in all these disciplines AND teaching methods to children of ALL ages.
Please enlighten me if I'm missing something.
