[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 743955, member: 23349"] Yes, homeschooling is an entirely different issue. Many homeschooled children do well and have wonderful, if sometimes inconsistent, educations. But from what I've seen they are often creative thinkers who bring another perspective to problem solving. I'm not anti-homeschooling at all. But I am extremely frustrated, in my state at least, that charter schools are not held to the same standard as public schools for teacher credentialing. I agree college is often overrated (I'm largely self-taught and finished my degree AFTER the kids, at the urging of a wonderful boss, and I don't think it made a difference in my performance - only in my promotability). But I believe a professional teacher should have a degree and a credential. And that all kids deserve the same educationally quality, whether they go to public, private or charter school. In a school, I expect to see either a 4-year teaching degree or a 4-year (or more) degree in a subject area with a separate education credential. Teaching is HARD - you need to know your subject, and you need to know how to teach. E's husband has a 4-year degree in physics and a masters in science education, which involved 3 years of supervised student teaching experiences in addition to both education theory and additional science courses. I think he'll be a wonderful science teacher. He's teaching in a wonderful private (not charter) school now. [/QUOTE]
