Master / Apprentice relationships are a whole different thing sure, but for all practical matters references today about teachers are the post-industrial system that prepares kids to be cogs in a factory and have basic literacy to the extent they can follow instructions.
There will always be bespoke things, but then we can't speak in generalities about those like is the supposed purpose of the OP. It's already happening from what I've seen among fellow homeschoolers, people buying curriculum, sometimes that's just books othertimes its apps and online things, or a mix. The care is then insourced, the parent need only pick a curator for the curricula (which is far more effective than the state under any circumstance)
Where I'm from homeschoolers are the exception, but I'd totally agree that it's the preferred way.
90% of post-industrial era teachers are glorified babysitters, inefficiency doing what a parent is better suited to do.
The other 10% see themselves as masters of a craft, and from what Ive seen really can provide exceptionally more value than the average parent (that is if you cut out all the administrative bloat of running a govt school). AI and other tech definitely tips the scales in favor of parents, but still I think the homeschoolers will remain an exception since parents will always be needed in their own areas of expertise. I could be wrong.
