I like the idea of learning pods personally. Bring in specialist tutors as needed or applicable. Trade off or cycle parent/authority roles between a few parents.
I like those ideas too. Something that is touted for home schooling that did not work out for us was the more open concept of exploring industry, from the mailbox to the dairy was a big no, the issue most often cited was liability, sometimes group size so official tours or no dice, and to volunteer there was often are restrictions of 14, 16 or 18 years old most likely for the same reason. It could just be out area, or maybe it's like that everywhere now, I don't know, but it would have been a beautiful accompaniment to education and a legacy of caring for this nation.
The way to compensate for this is for a two income household to consist of an unstable income stay at home parent and a stable income parent I think. I’ve never tried it out, but that is what I would suggest to my future partner though with the expectation of childcare being split 80/20 Unstable/Stable.
Dad or Mom could be at home doesn’t matter. The biggest thing is having the kid there watching you be an adult with the expectation that they will be working in that business to produce value. Basically, the Asian model with no centralized education.
When that age for participation in work outside the home is reached they’re ready to go. Strong foundation and practical adult skillset for an industry. That or they start their own business as there is no minimum age on that. Never too early.
But home schooling is hard!
