Also, bear in mind that not everyone has an internet connection. But I totally agree. We do need teachers. Homeschooling parents should ideally possess the appropriate qualifications to teach their kids from home, and their curriculum must be officially recognized by the relevant education body and be completely free of any religious or political indoctrination, but the parent-teacher should also be permitted some leeway to tailor their teaching methods to best suit their child's optimal learning style.

These parents who think that they're "homeschooling" or that it proves that teachers are "unnecessary" need to get over themselves. They are doing less than 1% of the actual work — the parents did not come up with the curriculum. The parents did not come up with the assignments. The parents are not grading the work and analyzing it for what needs improvement. The parents do not know the first thing about scientific childhood development and how to apply these things to a teaching method. All they are doing is sitting there and helping their kids complete glorified homework, which is exactly what they should have been doing in the first place, not something they deserve a medal for.
They are no more "doing the teacher's job" than you are "doing the cook's job" by throwing a frozen meal into a microwave.
Of course, this is such one symptom in the much bigger, long-standing problem of the modern age (and America in particular) being full of people who don't know their place. And I know everybody gets a kneejerk "anti-authoritarian" reaction when they hear that phrase, know your place, but there are times when it genuinely applies. If you don't know what you're talking about on a certain subject, then you need to keep your mouth shut when it comes to that subject, or you're going to fuck things up. That should be obvious, but people frequently become aghast when you suggest such a thing, that maybe they're not a qualified source of information on every subject matter under the sun — as if to suggest such a thing undermines their fundamental value as a human being. e.g., If you say that perhaps a truck driver who has never so much as seen a barometer in his life shouldn't be consulted when it comes to climatology, you'll be met with a lecture about how, "You just don't understand how important truck drivers are! They deliver your food!!!" as if the importance of his food deliveries magically bestows him with a meteorological PhD.
But no one said you're not important or smart in your own way. Everyone is. But no one is important and smart at everything. The hypothetical truck driver might get insulted when he's told to butt out of the climatologists' territory, yet I doubt that he would allow that climatologist himself — or a lawyer, or a gardener, or a chef — to make his deliveries for him. "Well, you've never been a trucker before, you don't know what you're doing!" Voila.
So before any of you sit back and imagine yourself, or others like you, as being of equal caliber to a teacher all because you can sit at a quiet kitchen table and read instructions designed for children off a laptop, I encourage to actually look around at the sort of people you see on a daily basis and ask yourself: Would you let them walk into your job and do it for you? No? Then stop trying to do everyone else's.

They finally have a break from having to deal with unruly, disobedient students in person. In light of that, I find it hard to believe they even mind "adjusting" to the online environment all that much.
