How could we know that local or other people are qualified to teach their respective courses and how does this compare with the preparation of traditional college faculty?
Teachers can be qualified based on their academic learning, professional experience, Biblical character, and the communication skills needed to teach the course(s) which they propose. In a free market, a family does not need to discriminate between teachers by age or secular credentials, but can encourage and benefit from all knowledgeable teachers in the Body of Christ who share their gifts through appropriate courses at all levels. Exact teacher qualifications can be conveyed to the students in the syllabus of each class. All teachers and students need to agree to give diligence to coursework, resolve disputes quickly, and support Biblical thinking.
