I went to a private Catholic school when I was little, but my parents pulled me out of that because they thought it was too religious. lol!

I knew a girl who was homeschooled throughout her primary years, mainly because she lived on a station quite a bit out of town. Her mother was a qualified teacher, so she got the education that she needed. I know that I keep harping on about this, but I still get worried about the qualifications of homeschooling parents.
Does anybody know if homeschooled children are tested by any independent regulatory body to make sure that they learning adequately?

But Public Schools are consistently mentored, not by the school, but by higher levels of Government. If teachers are doing their job inadequately, their teaching methods are reviewed and the problem rectified. There is constant advancement in the field of teaching. I know that teachers in this state have to go on a touch up training session every three years.
You could even go as far as saying teachers get reviewed by the parents. If the parents feel that the teacher is not doing a good enough job, the parents complain and the teacher is reviewed.
Teachers are constantly watched to make sure that they are doing a good enough job. There are set standards that they have to meet, and if they don't meet them, they lose their job. Home schooling does not have this kind of regulation, no quality control.

I mean for God's sake… most teachers aren't even aware that there are three basic methods of learning! (Kinesthetic, auditory and visual)
