It's a bit of a paradox. Often times, the children lack the required social skills to thrive in public schools. The parents compound the problem by pulling them out of public school and teaching them at home.As for qualifications to teach... pretty much anybody who is somewhat familiar with the subject matter can teach it effectively. The lesson plans and assignments are pre-prepared, and anybody can grade a paper if they have the answer key.[edit] The anecdotes that people give for why they homeschooled their children prove the point I'm making. Knowing Latin or Chinese isn't going to help a kid socialize with other kids unless they are either a Roman citizen (not likely) or part of the roughly 1/6 of the world that actually does speak Chinese. If little Johnny gets beat up at school, maybe its because he is a spaz. The social order of the playground is a training ground that cannot be duplicated by mommy and daddy at home.Any child can be an academic overacheiver if their mommy is grading their papers. This is the same across the board - the slow kids who can't grasp the simplest of concepts, the normal kids who can't control their behavior, or the advanced children who, above all other groups, need to learn social skills.Parents who homeschool their children have convinced themselves that what they are doing is right and that they have not compromised their child's education. The truth is that they have robbed them of the reward of triumph over their difficulties.
