How the heck did they get un-noticed for "not teaching" any students?
I mean, they were teaching each other without qualified instructors.
My husband went to an independent study high school where you taught yourself out of textbooks and if you struggled to understand something there were adults to help you find the right resource that worked for you if the original textbook didn't. No official teachers. My husband called it homeschooling but at a location that all the students went to during the day and where they took their tests. He said it prepared him for college because he already knew how to teach himself or find resources to help him learn material. It was very easy for us to choose homeschooling because we realized that we didn't need to know all the answers to give our kids a good education.
Note: the school my husband went to they were not all aiming for Ivy League schools nor was there any punishment (except staying on Friday until your schoolwork for the week was completed).
