Ok, then. In the future, I'll direct my homeschooling questions to
you. Actually I was thinking of going back to college. Do you think
it would be possible to homeschool myself? This time I'll be going
for a degree in mechanical engineering...

Ahh .... he's in Australia where anything can happen.

I, on the other hand, live The Land of Oz where real degrees are earned not
issued based on "Recognition of Current Competencies" because the "go easy"
police won't make old-timers pass the same tests as the newbie's.

I think you can absolutely teach yourself the information required
for a degree in mechanical engineering.

Whether or not anyone else wants to accept your home printed diploma
is another issue entirely.

Emailed too. peachy ashie passion wrote:

Again, ditto. But it's beside the point.
No regular here (m.e.h-s.Christian) is
suggesting the sort of isolation from all of
society that I infer might be presumed when
people suggest that if we bother to print out
a diploma that we expect anyone else to take
it seriously as a warrant of any sort of
capability.

Having rejected the course of mass schooling
for ourselves we, probably more than most
others, recognize the emptiness of many
credentials and the limitations of others,
and we recognize that in the real world
employers use more valuable figures of merit
to judge the competency of their potential
employees. I believe that, in interviewing
for the various engineering jobs I've held
over the years, the element that made the
most difference in my success were the few,
technical, questions. That is, my employers
seemed ultimately more interested in whether
I could answer a job-related question than
in even my university diploma. _____Marty

Homeschool has no assessment.

If homeschooling is universally good it must be good for EVERYONE ...
without exception.

If homeschooling is not universally good then what are the problems
associated with it?

NO-ONE on misc.education.home-school.christian wants to discuss the obvious
problems of homeschooling. How is that helpful for anyone deciding upon
homeschooling? Do you just tell them the good stuff and ignore the bad?

Because I dare to raise the problems I am called a troll.

If everyone thinks the same then you aren't thinking at all.

Quality control is about ensuring quality education. This is an essentail
part of state schools, Christian schools, Catholic private schools and
distance education. It is NOT an essentail part (apparently) in
homeschooling.

That then begs the question: "How do you you really know if your kids are
getting a quality edcation?" (because that in essence is what quality
control is about)

By this I mean:

How is quality education in homeschooling measured?
Does it use BOTH assessment and evaluation?
What is the criteria against which assessments are made?
Who decides the criteria?
What are their qualifications for setting such criteria?

It is of no use to assert that homeschooling is quality education without
giving any substantial verifiable proof.

By quality education I mean a minimum of a consistent liberal education with
minimum standards and criteria (e.g. literacy, basic maths, knowledge of
one's country and political systems and it's place ion the world, general
art appreciation) that is available to all children regardless of
socio-economic status or the educational level of the parents.

By quality education I do not mean isolated examples of the very best
students of a systenm performing well. Every system has those!

Stated in plainer English, how do you really know that homeschooling is good
for ALL children? What is the verifiable evidence for your opinion?

Would you mind if:
- nutritional products had no quality control and were basically useless and
without nutrition ... causing people to die from malnutrition
- health care had no quality control and anyone could be a doctor, prescribe
medication and do surgery ... and hospitals could be located in the local
sewers ... causing people to die by visiting a doctor or hospital

Is that the type of state that homeschoolers envisage?

Quality control in nutrition and health care ensures the quality of
nutrition and health care that everyone receives.

If there is NO quality control in homeschooling, how can you ensure that you
have quality education in homeschooling?

Please explain.

Is isolation of a child from the rest of society a part of quality
education?

Is isolation of a child from the rest of society a possibility in
homeschooling?

If it is possible, do homeschoolers value isolationism? Why?

If it is NOT possible, please explain how it is not possible with reference
to the Branch Davidians at Waco and the People's Temple at Jonestown ...both
of whom homeschooled.

Did the the Branch Davidians at Waco and the People's Temple at Jonestown
provide quality education for their children?

Why are homeschoolers on misc.education.home-school.christian unable to
answer such basic questions?
