LatinLover Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I know that one of the things being thrown out there is that all teachers would have to be certified. I'm assuming that this means hs'ing moms as well. Now for my question...Would you have to be certified at every level / subject for which you're teaching or just have a general certification? Does anyone even know? I just want to stay ahead of the curve and be prepared, KWIM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna T. Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I don't think anyone knows yet. I think it will depend in part on whether or not they put through a nationalized curriculum. That is one of the goals that is being talked about. I've been reading about it a bit lately and I have to admit, I'm getting nervous.

I think they would be biting off more than they could chew if they required certification in each subject. But I could be wrong. I've been wrong very recently. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillZ Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 The national standards would apply only to public schools right? It seems like HS'ers would be exempt from this, as would private and charter schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinLover Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Don't forget that the homeschool lobby is a powerful thing. When the call goes out about something that could infringe our rights what happens? Things get posted on every hs bulletin board, email list, yahoo group and library door. From across the socio-econimic spectrum, geography and across ideological lines we come out in force. We call lawmakers and march on capitols. We can always take the day off from school and call it civics, right? Like other special interests we have our professional organizations whose job it is to do these things, but we also have a ton of normal moms and dads willing to make calls and send emails and go see a legislator on a moment's notice. Don't underestimate homeschoolers. We pack a punch when nessesary.:D As much as I would love to believe this, recent events have shown that TPTB don't give a rip how the disgruntled masses feel. I'll be right there with you, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Just to let you know that locally, such a law exists and it applies to both public and private schools, but not to homeschools. Here, homeschools are not considered a private school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
