Teachers are held to a higher standard and rightfully so IMO. We are placing them in charge of our most precious, our innocent children. My question is why is it better to remove a child from school because the teachers "don't know enough" only to place them in a similar situation at home? yes, some parents really are better educators than the professionals in their area. That is not true of everyone though.
It's is good for your children that you have such a set up, which essentially is doing what a school already does just with a different classroom. Not all have access to such things & not all have the abilities to do it either.
Personally, I believe the NEA has a lot to do with why there are so many poorly educated teachers in the system. That needs to be addressed.
I dont' want an arbitrary teacher 'in charge' of my children. I've met a few teachers, and while I'm sure they're competent at what they do (teach) their attitudes and disrespectfulness to children.
The whole system is geared towards disrespect for our children, who are our future.
