SHE SHOULD KNOW
The VA EdSec doesn’t think a VA diploma has much value. How else to explain this quote?
Lowering the standard [that would allow a parent with a HS diploma to homeschool with less supervision] would be “a travesty,” said Belle Wheelan, the state’s secretary of education. “I don’t think it’s in the best interests of the children,” she said.
Wheelan said her own son barely graduated from high school and “I wouldn’t want him teaching any grandchildren I have. He’s not qualified.”
Hat tip to GillBates.
