From what I've been personally told, the parent/teacher role evolves into more of a "Principal" role who puts together curriculum from outside sources together and helps to supervise / administer the material.
- jqpabc123 4y agoAn effective teacher needs to be able to explain, answer questions and provide examples and guidance. Assembling "curriculum from outside sources" is not teaching. At best, it is facilitating self learning. Some kids may do ok with this --- but a lot won't.
- sebg 4y agoTrue, though a fair number of curriculum from outside sources includes sessions with teachers in small groups where students can interact with each and the teacher to receive explanations, ask questions, and receive guidance.
- jqpabc123 4y agoIn other words, the home schooling parents need to be trained as teachers.
