At what point does this become not "homeschool", but "school, with different licensing requirements for the teachers"? It doesn't seem right to discuss this setup in the same breath as children schooled by their own parent.

- graemep 3y agobecause it is not institutional or full time. it is like the difference between a commercial child care service, and having your friend's kids or you kid's friends over for the day. I think it depends largely on who controls the process - the parents of a paid professional. That said, it is not a typical approach either, nor is schooling by a parent. I have used (and this is typical in the UK, although i do not know about the US) paid face to face tutors, taught my self, provided the kids with textbooks etc. to teach themselves, paid for online courses, helped them find other resources and so on. The paid tutors are qualified (both of them are qualified in the subjects they teach, one is a former school teacher).
