It has always been the ideal of a society to outsource education to a professional. A sign of a communities affluence was the wisdom of the teachers they could hire.
Now, I think the desire of most people to homeschool is that they are concerned with the lack of schooling and the amount of “parenting” modern schools do. We are also suffering because character has become dissociated from quality of teacher…
So, to sum up. Schools are great, and should have knowledgeable teachers running them. Sadly our education systems are sick from the top down, so we have poor quality teachers, lacking character, doing more “parenting” than teaching.
Can parents teach their kids? Sure! But imagine Alexander taught only by Phillip instead of Aristotle 🤯
