Homeschooling and public schooling are as opposite as two sides of a coin. In a homeschooling environment, the teacher need not be certified, but the child MUST learn. In a public school environment, the teacher MUST be certified, but the child need NOT learn.

Homeschooling and public schooling are as opposite as two sides of a coin. In a homeschooling environment, the teacher need not be certified, but the child MUST learn. In a public school environment, the teacher MUST be certified, but the child need NOT learn. This quote is from an article called "The Debate on Homeschooling & Public Schools".

The author of the article makes a case that public schools should require children to take standardized tests before they can be admitted into public school. However, he also makes the case that homeschooled children should not be required to take standardized tests. He uses this example (and other examples) to support his argument that homeschooled children should not be held to the same standards as children who are enrolled in public schools.
