Nevermind that these people have had this closed culture and community for hundreds of years. Their 'ignorant' and 'brainwashed' ways are so dangerous.
Makes me sick.
I wasn't replying SOLELY to you btw.

Don't worry, I was thinking the same thing when I read the comments.
You need a certified teacher to teach a home-school course? I don't think so.

Do I need to be a certified teacher to educate my child at home in Quebec? No. There is no such requirement in the Education Act.

Funny though...that everyone focuses on the the 'what they teach their kids'...blah, blah, blah...instead of actually looking at it from an unbiased viewpoint.
Ignorant? Maybe. That is YOUR opinion. Does everyone have to believe the same thing YOU believe? No. Unless these people were using a program that would NOT meet any sort of educational requirements(the article doesn't point that out)...Quebec has no right to close their school.
Here where I live there is a private Mennonite school. They have no certified teachers...instead, within their church they pick certain individuals...to oversee the HOME-schooling program. According to Alberta Education, THAT program that they use is more than valid enough to obtain a diploma if they graduate grade 12. In fact, many of their students placed in the top 5% in just about ALL subjects based on government tests.
These are the exact same people....and I'm going to ask a few questions next time I see on the Mennonite's in town....I'm sure they all use the same curriculum.
