In most homeschooling families, one of the parents stays home to be the primary teacher. Many of the best teachers I've ever had didn't have education degrees and were totally outside of the formal academic system. The worst teachers I've ever had were all in the academic system. I don't think the pedagogical knowledge and credentials have much to do with whether someone is a good teacher.
