What is an "unlicensed adult?"

Rose Fernandez, spokesperson for the Wisconsin Virtual Academy, on the educratic viewpoint:

I heard lawyers for DPI and WEAC call parents incompetent. I heard them say that unlicensed adults should not perform any teaching function whatsoever in public schools.

Unlicensed adults is code for what I am. A parent.

WEAC sued WIVA a few years ago, contending that they're breaking the law by having parents directly involved in their children's educations.
