And don't think for a minute that you can't effectively teach your kids because you don't have a fancy piece of paper that cost 6 figures and several years of your life to get.
It's called every day education. I taught my oldest math by playing around with his chicken nuggets at lunch time. It's amazing, when you spell it out in food, even a 5 year old can understand that if 2x = 6, then x = 3.
That's fine for younger kids, but do you think you'd be able to teach them calculus when they get to high school? The problem is that the average person isn't capable of teaching their kids... but neither is the average teacher. It's a bad situation all around.
