If the parents actively use everything as a teaching tool, then fine, otherwise it's just creating a steaming pile of ignorant burger flippers
Therein lies the problem.
Obviously *(see hundreds of posts above) there are a lot of problems with engaging kids in education, and public school systems may not be perfect at standardizing education,
but the odds are that your school teachers from K-12 were at least all paid, degreed professionals.
In most cases (mine too) some are complete idiots, but others are complete geniuses and can provide you with inspiration throughout your whole life.
There are SOME parents that fall into the latter category, raising the next Einsteins and DaVincis.
But a whole gigantic pile of parents that would make incredibly bad teachers, far worse than your worst teacher.
I really don't have a problem with the idea of unschool or homeschool, it just isn't for everybody.
