You probably haven't completed the necessary classes and tests in order to be qualified to teach basic math, english, history, humanities, foreign language for middle school or high school, and that doesn't even take into account how you really have to be an expert at your subject to teach honors and AP classes for high school.

What question can't I answer? Go Go Gadget Library? Go Go Gadget Wikipedia? Go Go Gadget any number of resources.
I could sit down in a public high school class and ask questions the teacher can't answer... how is this any different than homeschool?

Do you mean... I cannot sit down with my daughter and say... a zoology textbook, for example, and teach her just as good as I was taught zoology?

You've got to be pretty full of yourself if you think you can just open a book and teach someone biology, chemistry, earth/space science, history, algebra, geometry, pre-calc, english, a foreign language, and all sorts of other things as well as someone who spent many years in order to master just
one
of those subjects.
Elementary school is one thing, everything after is an entirely different matter.

They did bring up a good point with respect to laboratory. Good luck with access to all the chemicals needed for chemistry (some of which are quite expensive!) or all the other miscellaneous items for a physics lab (do
you
have a set of tuning forks for a lesson on harmonic frequencies?), or the microscope and assorted miniature items to view under such a microscope in biology, all of which explain things in a different (sometimes better, sometimes worse) way than reading a book will.

I don't remember my science teacher being a science wiz. I can teach any of those subjects, since I have had all of them myself.
As for chemicals... microscopes... blah blah blah... We are in a partnership with the school district. We get any supplies we want, any labs we want, library, teacher help, blah blah blah. We CAN access anything a student has, and we follow the same materials that every other student does. Same textbooks... same everything. The only difference is that the classroom is -29 other students, and I didn't take 4 years of college to learn how to tranqualize kids into learning.
It does help to have college. You imbiciles think it is a requirement for learning. As if I open up a textbook, and it might as well be in latin. I can't read it, or make any sense of it. My poor primitive mind lacks the state certified credentials.

Hint: You don't know everything.

Qualified? No. Capable? It's not that hard. Let's say you had to teach that class. Could you?
Could you, Laihendi, teach European History? With preparation time, textbook, etc.

Then you have a good program local to you. I do not know that it is the same everywhere else.
Also, jtbm3.

No, he couldn't. Teaching is more than knowing the material. It is knowing
how
to teach it so that your students learn efficiently. If teaching only required a textbook and a desk, not many teachers would get their masters degrees.
I would recommend all of you watching
this

Not everyone can teach, true. But just because you don't have a teaching degree, that doesn't mean you can't teach. There isn't some magical brain connection that happens when the diploma lands in your palm.
Edit: Saw that movie

So if some guy passes a class with a C, that means he should be able to teach it as long as he has the almighty textbook? Are you joking?

You realize that you learn a lot in the process of getting that diploma, right?

I wonder if you have learned to read yet. That's something I can teach you without any diploma, ya know.

Unless you're some sort of renaissance man, there's no way you're going to be able to do anywhere near as good a job at teaching all the basic courses for middle and (especially) high school as someone who spent years specializing in that subject. And that's before you take advanced courses and electives into account.

You don't teach every class in High School when you teach. It is normally procedure to teach one specific subject or a few that fit within the similar bounds.
