Happy At Homeschool: To Those Who Oppose Homeschool

I have viewed a whole lot of articles on homeschooling and read the comments on blogs and the news sources with comments.  I usually don't comment because those who oppose it make me laugh.  Comments like,  " I no nobody is qualified to do this."  If you write like that maybe you aren't.  Firstly, the word you are looking for is know.  The "k" and the "w" are silent kind of like the word knife "k" is silent "i" is long and "e" is silent.  Secondly, in this context you're using a double negative.  Two wrongs don't make a right.

Then, there's text speak.  It has a time and place on Twitter or Facebook.  If you are able to write more than x number of characters BTW and LOL does not do it.  If you are going to oppose homeschooling, I am begging you to show me you are educated enough to write properly in your native language.  If you can't write properly, I daresay, you are not qualified enough to comment on said blogs or news sources.

It's true, I don't have a degree to teach.  I wonder how many school house teachers had a college degree in the olden days.   Laura Ingalls Wilder was a school teacher and she did not have a college degree and surprise!  she was fifteen.  You don't need a degree to teach, you need the heart to do so.

It's the government that requires a degree to teach in a public school system.  You teach your own child when it is inside you.  I read to my son before he was born.  My four year old writes her name and recognizes shapes, colors, and alphabet.  She is too young for public school since she's an October baby.  My two year old sings his A,B,C's.  A teacher didn't do this, I did.

As you can see I write coherently.  Again, a teacher didn't teach me to write.  My mom bought me a journal when I was a small child.  I taught myself to write, teachers only encouraged it and it was almost never enjoyable it's akin to pulling teeth.  My vocabulary, again, self-taught.  All I'm saying is, if you don't want a homeschool mommy or daddy to laugh at you get your language together.  We research what we do.  I suppose you could say we homeschool ourselves.  So, please homeschool yourself before you can pose an argument on homeschooling.
