HomeBut I’m Not A Qualified Teacher!
Research has clearly demonstrated that in the case of home-schooling there is absolutely no advantage to being a qualified teacher.
Two groups of home-schooled children were tested with the same banks of Mathematics, English and Science tests. The first group of children emanated from homes where the mother or father was a qualified teacher while the second came from parents who did not have any formal training in teaching whatsoever.
In the test results - the first group did not perform any better than the second! However, both groups performed substantially better than their regular school-going peers!
In fact, many Love2Learn users who are qualified teachers have indicated that it is sometimes a disadvantage to be a qualified teacher, simply because there is a tendency to replicate the memory of the classroom at home.
Home-schooling is most certainly not the importation and replication of the classroom as we remember it at home!
Rather, it is an abundant, rich and living education! Let the classroom remain where it belongs…in a school! And may the home-school live up to be everything it is meant to be, a natural extension of the family and family life and where children develop a passion for learning!
