I'm not so sure...if a parent is willing to utilize outside resources, and not insist on doing everything alone, it can still be highly successful. Remember, jfrog, the goal of education is not to make sure a child can remember a certain list of facts, but to increase their ability to comprehend facts and function successfully in society for the rest of the lives.
We have co-ops in our area, mainly for high school level students. There may be a parent who excels in science, and another who excels in foreign languages. So these students will get together a couple of times a week for a focused class with an expert tutor, and then work at home the rest of the time. Also, a lot of high schoolers need the flexibility because they're already taking college classes, and/or working jobs.
