On the flip side, just because someone has a teaching degree doesn’t mean they are qualified to teach. I’ve met teachers who couldn’t write or talk their way out of a paper bag, let alone impart truth and knowledge to a child. They were dry, disinterested, oblivious, and unskilled in the most common principles of communication—yet they had degrees. Go figure. A degree does not qualify someone to teach.

For example, take the NEA. They simply hate us. Their policy begins thus, “The National Education Association believes that home schooling programs based on parental choice cannot provide the student with a comprehensive education experience.” It descends from there into a ridiculous number of limits they believe should be placed on the homeschooling parents, including “instruction should be by persons who are licensed by the appropriate state and education licensure agency and curriculum approved by the state department of education should be used.”

"Now, with the federal ruling against ICR, the Texas government may mandate that any private sector college, even those that accept no government funding, may be regulated by the THECB, even to the extreme that the THECB may reject a science education program because it features a creationist viewpoint. The effect of these two major rulings is that private Christian education will now face greater discrimination in California and in Texas--two states that set educational precedents for the nation."
