Sadly this person is taking some flak for the following:

Unless you are a certified teacher then don’t even try and homeschool your child.  It is abuse because I’m sure you, as the teacher, let your child have long breaks – start the day late and end it early.  You don’t have anyway of comparing your child with how and where they are supposed to be in the spectrum.  UGH ….I feel so sorry for home schooled children. 

Of course, flak might be deserved, but not for saying it… you know, free speech, etc.?

The reality is that this IS what people are thinking.  Yet, shouldn’t abuse be based on results?  If kids are being left behind, then that is a tradjedy!  Yet, the author is not fully applying the standard.  Just because someone is a certified teacher, why does that mean the child won’t be behind?

What if we really went by what works?

Honesty admits that homeschooling is producing a better result (on average) than public school is producing.  So, how about a fresh standard?

If  you are not educating your child(ren) at home…then send them to school!  But, if they are not learning at school, why not bring them home?

It is time to start being honest about out results and make a change!
