> Are you going to claim that a parent is more qualified than them? In some cases, yes. Anecdotally, in my homeschool co-op group growing up, we had classes from a PHD biochemist, an ex highschool english teacher (got fed up with highschool and turned to homeschooling), a professional music teacher who catered to the local homeschoolers, and a successful local businessman who ran a catering company, among others. There are a lot of highly qualified people who are also parents, and interested in teaching their own (and their neighbors) children. Homeschooling certainly isn't appropriate for everyone, but don't discount the existence of people who are able and willing to outperform the local public school system.
