Most parents are worse teachers than the average teacher. Most parents can't afford the time/money to teach their kids. This is a passion project for the 1%.

And no, educational videos on YouTube are not a replacement for a curriculum. We saw that during COVID where the attainment of children worsened.

There are bad schools and bad teachers. The solution is not bulldozing the entire system and replacing it with something worse.

This is like saying people should self-diagnose and medicate because there's a few dodgy hospitals and doctors.
