Consider this “innovative idea”. Consider ballet schools, music schools, math centers—a division of labor.
Home-school doesn’t always mean teach everything by yourself.
Home-school co-opts, dual credit classes at the junior college, online classes, paid classes that cater to homeschool students. Do you honestly think that in a group of millions of bright families that you are the first to consider that innovative idea?
It took a couple years of college classes before my kids realized that my wife and I were pretty good teachers. This was an unforeseen consequence of us taking good advantage of the external teaching available. If we knew a fantastic teacher that would do a better job than us in a subject, we would sign the kids up for that class. As a result, every “other” teacher they were exposed to were fantastic teachers. Their conclusion was that mom and dad were just average.
It was not until they had repeated exposure to a non-filtered set of teachers that they got the perspective to see how we really rated.
The key difference is that even when we didn’t teach it ourselves, we had complete control to pick the teacher, the curriculum and had accountability that if they were doing something we did not approve of then we had authority to pull the kids without having to fight endless levels of bureaucracy.
