1. Not many students take or need calculus and physics.
2. There is no reason a parent can't outsource those subjects.
e.g. junior college
online instruction
homeschool co-op
private tutor
I don't really believe in online instruction, but I could be convinced.
I actually had a long discussion with a woman and her son about the
online stuff in Pennsylvania. It was certainly better than the school
district he would have been attending otherwise. I'm not sure how
suitable it is for the advanced work, however.
In the other cases, what's the problem with a certification? These
people are teaching many students. Why shouldn't they have a certificate?
You still fail to present a good argument against other than a vague
anti-government screed.
I don't fault your individual choices, but it is in your interest to
keep the main school competent, as well. If the main school collapses,
your home school outsourcing gets overrun.
