‘Too bad, so sad . . .”
Are you six years old?
Seriously, do you not get the fact that the great bulk of parents just don’t have the skills?
Improper fractions, polynomials, point-slope formula, Brown v. Board of Education, ‘taxation without representation’, diagraming a sentence, unity of time and place, introductory clauses, igneous rock, symbiosis, acids and bases. . .
Most parents would just fold.
Retorts along the lines of ‘Too bad, so sad’ has to give a person pause in terms of considering educating their own kids.
“MY WHOLE POINT: the average parent doesn’t have either the skill or the educational background in the basics to teach an elementary through middle school curriculum.”
So, your whole point is NOBODY can teach if they have a public school education, and that includes ALL OF THE TEACHERS TEACHING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS TODAY!!!!!!Because we all know that the teaching credential has no classes covering the said curriculum that you claim the average parent lacks. And if you want to claim different you are going to HAVE to prove it because too many Freepers here have stated that there are NO SUCH CLASSES.
You want the children of the USA to remain in the dead, stupid, indoctrinating, soulless public schools. You want the children to die in ignorance and be enslaved by YOUR kind, so you can have a job. Heartless. Elitist snob.
