Getting back to the original topic, isn't it disadvantageous if parents only teach the basics to their children, and then their children have to compete in college? To dismantle modern education, and only have parents teach the basics (assuming all parents know basic math, science, english, art, sociology, etc.), it would be very hard to do. Every modern, industrial nation needs physicist, chemists, biologists, engineers, doctors, etc., and I don't think basic math and science by your average parents will pass the test. Sure, there might be a few exceptional parent teachers out there, but most will either be too busy, or highly unqualified (some parents can't even add fractions).
