Home schooling is the way to go.
3 of my grandchildren are being homeschooled and the other 3 will do the same next year. I personally have never had much time for formal schooling and was called a rebel countless times.

I think homeschooling is going to get even more popular over the next decade. The challenge I have with it is whether parents have the skills to actually do it. I think for some at least, they like the idea of it, but their execution isn't good.

Yeah, you are right, as in order to do the job properly, the responsible parent should ensure that they select the correct curicullum. Many make the mistake of selecting the most popular curiculum, but then find it is not suitable for their child.
We can certainly take some lessons from the Japanese in determining a child's true potential and then cultivating the child into the correct direction.
That said, the parent should also be totally au fait with the curiculum.
A challenge, but not unbeatable.

This is only one part of the execution and of course there are other factors that are also prominent in quality education.

My sister in law has two educational degrees and I keep on instigating her to start her own pre-school, but she is just happy to teach her own two little ones. She can be so valuable to other working parents, but I am talking to a wall hahaha.

I think that sometimes it is like people who take a pet, but only want it so they can stick it in a bag with its head poking out when they go shopping. They might even have good intentions - but they have to be aware and active, as well as patient.

Talking to walls is what I do best. ;)

Hahaha, a great explanation here and very "fitting" lol.
Also a part of my expertise, as people just don't listen anymore.
Someone said that they listen to reply lol.
