Actually, I might trade that camel nose for the one already in my tent.

If I could take a competency test and then be done with state and local interference (annual notification, end-of-year evaluation. etc.) I would take it.

I feel sorry for folks in my state without bachelor's degrees in my state - they must create or buy, and have approved, curricula that follow state "standards of learning" in lockstep. I can set my own curriculum, although I am obligated to "describe" it to the local superintendant.

FWIW, I am confident most home-schooling parents could take any teacher-certification test and put most new teachers to shame. Those tests are ridiculously easy.
