Please address me politely and respectfully as "Professor Michelle" or
"Your
Highness"

So? Change your name.
I consider your current puerility to be contemptible---it's far, far worse
than a creationist homeskoola at this point and I certainly do not want it
being even accidentally read by anyone as being from me.

Physics:
The laws of physics regarding refraction of light only came into being to
cheer up Noah, as this is when God created the first rainbow. (Praise the
Lord for being the world's first exterior decorator! Love those colorful
flourishes Lord, but could I see something in a taupe?) GE 9:12-16
Fire consumes wet wood, stones, and dust, and "licks up" water (but won't
light charcoal briquettes at a bar-b-que!) 1SA 2:8, JB 38:4, PS 104:5 1KI
18:33-38
An iron axe head can float in water, (but, remember, a single-engine plane
and Natalie Wood won't).2KI 6:5-7
The shadow on a sun dial moves backwards (so they need to be set forward
in
fall and back in spring one hour). 2KI 20:11
The earth has four corners (but Africa and Antartica have no 4-star
restaurants). IS 11:12, RE 7:1
The earth can be turned upside down so as to scatter its inhabitants (or
for
serious Spring cleaning). IS 24:1 (KJV)
The moon will someday be as bright as the sun is now (I recommend a
moisterizer with a MPF 35!) IS 30:26
There is a high mountain from which all the kingdoms of the world can be
seen (and Satan has a ReMaxx office at the top). MT 4:8
There are at least three heavens (none of which welcome the unsaved). 2CO
12:2
Heaven is to be inhabited by 144,000 virgin men who have not been
"defiled"
by women (and are all, no doubt, ready for some BASH ex-gay therapy). RE
14:1-4
Metropolitan Heaven is only about 1500 miles square (but all the
Earth-view
property is spoken for). RE 21:16
The sky is strong like molten glass (so maybe it is God who looks at us
through a glass darkly!) (Job 37:18)
The sky separates the seas on earth from the seas above it (unless you
live
in Los Angeles, Mexico City or Atlanta, in which case it is carbon
monoxide
that is separating the two seas) (GEN 1:7)
There was light ("night and day") before there was even a sun (so
artificial
lighting schemes must have been around long before Thomas Edison. Praise
the
Lord!) . GE 1:3-5, 14-19

Michael S Morris from Butler Uni (aka Mickey Mouth Mowwith) is a
hypocrite.
He uses one standard to homeskool and another standard in his work I once
suggested that his homeskool standard should be applied to his work and
Butler Uni be *****sed by housewives without any knowledge of education.
If
it's good enough for the kids being homeskooled why isn't it good enough
for
the uni at which Mickey Mouth
Mowwith works?????????
From http://www.butler.edu/oir/guidelines.html
.... where Mickey Mouth Mowwith lectures ... maybe the education
department
need to know about his views.

accordance
>with the Criteria for Accreditation from the North Central Association,
>Butler University is responsible for implementing an institutional
>*****sment plan.
Mission
Through accreditation and related services, NCA CASI
continuously improves the quality of education and challenges education
entities to prepare each and every learner for success.
Core Activities that Sup****t the Mission:
a.. Set quality standards for the education profession
b.. Provide external review and validation of education entities
c.. Accredit education entities that achieve the standards and engage in
continuous improvement
d.. Challenge and sup****t education entities to continually improve
student
performance
I have marked with a * the areas related to education K - 12 that are
looked
at in all public schools in NSW, Australia but are not universally looked
at
in homeschools.
> The institutional *****sment plan includes a requirement for every
program
> to develop a plan and a process for identifying the educational goals or
> intended outcomes of the program, and for *****sing the extent to which
> those goals or outcomes are being achieved. The *****sment process may
> incor****ate findings gathered from students, faculty, administrators,

.....
> 1. Each program will determine and articulate the specific student

accomplish

*>c. What specific knowledge, skills, and abilities are to be acquired?
*>d. What pedagogical techniques are used to convey the information?
>3. Each program will specify procedures for *****sing student progress in

*>a. What processes are in place for measuring student outcomes?
*>b. Do the processes provide several kinds of information about student

*>c. Are the *****sment procedures adopted by the program linked to
program

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In summary homeschoolers do not have to think about or state :
- How their goals are determined
- The intended outcomes of their programs
- The overall plan of each component and how was it determined
- The organizing principles of each component and how do they fit into the
mission of the individual unit and their homeschool
- What specific knowledge, skills, and abilities are to be acquired
- What pedagogical techniques are used to convey the information
- What processes are in place for measuring student outcomes
- Assurance that processes provide several kinds of information about
student learning and achievement
- Assurance that the *****sment procedures adopted by the program linked
to
program goals and priorities
- The procedures that exist for modifying and improving the program in
light
of the results from the *****sment
All are activities essential for quality educational practice. As you can
plainly see, *****sment is a vital part of education but not a virtal part
of homeschooling.
It is good enough for Mickey Mouth Mowwith to use these things in his
part-time uni lecturing but NOT in homeschooling? Why?
There is NO assurance that every child is receiving a quality education in
homeschooling.
