Marie Curie actually taught her kids this way for a few years. A small group of friends (mostly college professors) each picked a subject. Marie designed hands - on experiments to teach the group physics. She and Pierre Curie did not think much of France's school system at the time. In her biography their complaints about science education sound very contemporary. "The more things change, the more they stay the same".
