Were your teachers the best and brightest?
They didn't have to be; they simply had to be competent at their job, which most of them were.
Therefore, someone choosing to homeschool their child isn't reducing the amount of school funding in the pool. No one is getting a tax credit for homeschooling.
Yeah, and I never said they weren't. I've no idea where you came up with that.
My point is that it costs real money to provide a quality education (public or private) and a lot of people aren't okay with that fact.
"Education is expensive but the cost pales in comparison to ignorance."
Anyway, better luck reading more carefully next time and have a wonderful day.
A Windows 11 VM that I manage went through an update cycle and, when it was finally finished, the bottom bar was missing.
Like just about all Windows issues, I had to spend a long time googling solutions and trying them, before I eventually landed on the correct solution. I tend to avoid those tiresome Youtube videos that take 10 minutes to tell you that: 1. Their solution is simple and will work, 2, don't forget to subscribe, while failing to acknowledge that there might be other causes for the failure that you have experienced.
Surprisingly, the solution came in an AI answer with the right set of search terms. In my experience, the hit rate for accuracy of AI searches is poor, but this time, it worked!
If you want these things, then you will pay for a good public education.
THIS ^^^^^ times a million billion zillion.
Do you want educated doctors, lawyers, engineers, nurses, etc etc etc? It's well worth paying for that, and don't fool yourself into thinking it's not.
Let's be honest- the vast, VAST majority of parents aren't remotely qualified to be a 'teacher'.
Teaching is a complex skill, which is why people go to COLLEGE and get a DEGREE to be able to do it professionally.
I know a LOT of parents, including some pretty smart ones, and most of them wouldn't be able to do a credible job of homeschooling a child. Again, teaching is a learned skill, not something you dabble in. It's not something anyone can just pick up and start doing.
Homeschooling has produced a lot of simpletons who don't know jack shit, but who've still managed to claw a GED out of the school system.
I would clamp down on homeschooling and test the parents comprehensively to make certain that they can actually teach, not just read out of a book or do some canned exercises.
But hey, if you want to raise a country full of dopes who don't know fuck all, homeschooling by the average parent is the way to go.
