They are allowed to hire teachers who have only a high school degree and no teaching experience. Some states are now funding private evangelical schools that are not required to follow state curriculum standards. Home schoolers also are not required to follow standards and are not monitored by local educators or school boards. I’m waiting for the first red state to go full Taliban and set up special schools for girls that teach them nothing but how to get married as teenagers and become baby machines.
