Seriously, teaching is hard. When I managed my first IT helpdesk, I had to take classes to better train my people.
Teachers, at least here, need 4 years of school, plus training time in a real school.
My state you just need a Bachelor's in anything to be a teacher in anything.
there's the rub, here you need a teaching degree specifically.
That would be nice. You could have someone who has a BA in Under Water Basket weaving, and they can teach High School Math here...
In that was the case, homeschool kids would be under performing public school kids, however it’s the exact opposite.
Depends on more than one factor. Homeschooled children will also differ demographically from the public school one.
That hasn't been my experience in hiring them in the past, plus most are socially stunted and soft in my experience.
Test scores show the exact opposite, what kind of firld are you hiring these people in? And how the you know if they are Homeschooled
Teachers needing 4 years and training time is nothing but time. The current low effort bar for an education degree is pathetic. Thats the problem, if you pay them money they pass you and say here's a degree go teach our children.
There needs to be a high bar set to even entertain the idea of becoming a teacher.
