What qualifies you (I don't mean academic qualifications) to judge and generalise about people's life skills?
.

no problem

2 Degrees, soon to be 3, a ruck of professional based "real life" qualifications, a 15 year plus working career of constant promotion / progression while fathering 4 kids and well traveled.

Still, its nothing in comparison with a 22 year old with a PGCE who has known nothing else other than school from the age of 4 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

again, the real point that was made has floated effortlessly over your head. Lets try again.

If it is ok to create the silly and generalised impression of "muvver in her PJ's" just to ridicule home ed then it is equally valid to create the impression of a teacher as a "straight out of college with no life experiences" as an example of a weakness of the established system.

If you can not understand that point, then I actually feel sorry for you. :rotfl:

Aah, so you're really just posting 'tit for tat': if they said this then I can say that. Brilliant logic.

You mean, if I don't agree with your point of view, then you feel sorry for me. Go ahead. That's entirely your prerogative.

nope, see post 570.

My response was to one person to demonstrate the flaw in their logic by providing an equally flawed statement using the same logic pattern. You seem to have missed the point.

no, I dont mean that. What I mean is exactly what I said, not your translation of it (which you are not qualified to do). You can disagree with me all you want, I couldnt care less. However if you cant even grasp thew basic point that is being made then I will point it out to you. This has nothing to do with agreeing or not agreeing with the point made.

Thanks for the brief summary, but why do you compare your qualifications and life experience with that of a newly qualified teacher of 22? Of course most people in their 40's/50's will have more life experence than most 22 year olds. :rotfl::rotfl:

I asked about your non-academic qualifications which qualify you to judge teachers, not how you compare with teachers. You respond by listing your academic qualifications (=school/uni), your path on the career ladder (=sold stuff and sat in business meetings) and the fact that you are fertile. Oh, you can also access aeroplanes and sleep in hotels, hmm... As for being 'able to father', no offence, but so can most if the males on Jeremy Kyle.

Quite frankly I am not any more convinced.

From my actual life experience of teachers, I choose to disagree with your view on newly qualified teachers.

Because you can't actually read a poster's response before responding, proven numerous times, by you, in this and other threads, I am choosing not to waste any more of my time with your posts.

Im not sure JohnnyL was actually referring to qualified teachers but i have a question re home schooling does the parent (the educator) have to be qualified as a teacher or can any parent take it upon themselves to home teach their children?

Just curious as if that is the case then im off to play up front for Fergie in Man Utd's game today i mean i kick the ball about with my boys so i must be permitted!

Any parent can opt to home educate.

Anyone can opt to home educate, but scarier still in my opinion, is that anyone can claim to home educate.

trevorsminted

Thats a scary thought, then again most of the skanky kind like their 8 hours to watch Jezza with their fags, booze and baggie of class A's, so on occasion send their kids to school.

Why do they also go about in packs like wolves? there always the unemployed bloke tagging along with a few of his mates never just one, thats the parents i refer to of course

Don't let it worry you too much. If a child's legal guardian is not providing an appropriate education, the state can intervene and take measures e.g. compulsory enrolment at a state school. I would guess the... fraud rate, for want of the correct term, is no worse than for anything else.
