Dumbing down education

[Hometeacher628]

As a homeschooler I have consistently looked for professional experience before teaching experience every time. Most all have had advanced degrees, many Ph'd in their field, with the heart to teach a class of homeschooled kids. On the fly practical application-that is how to transfer passion to a student about a subject. I have never heard from my kids, "Why do I have to learn this? I'll never use it. Dd#1 had a Ph'd patent holding rocket scientist for her high school Chemistry class. Her Chemistry note book looked like nothing I had ever seen before. All of her public school friends were still memorizing the periodic table 1/3 into the school year. Dd's professor gave his class the periodic table and said that by the end of the year they'd have it memorized because they would be working with it so much. I had never seen so much math in my life! It absolutely looked like a foreign language to me. He had all these kids "working through their Chemistry". Just Inspiring. Her college Chemistry this semester at a University is a cakewalk compared to her high school class.
