Id rather find a good teacher and,directly pay them to teach a group of neighborhood kids. Split the costs between the parents and take donations, do fundraisers, etc.
And your parents hired a private teacher to educate you directly? Really? Maybe all the homeschooling families I've known (30+ at least) were just outliers then, weird
We had regular (weekly or semiweekly) group tutoring sessions with professional educators, usually with significant career experience in the fields they taught, contracted and paid directly by the parents. Almost every home schooler I knew did. Obviously I'd have some selection bias because of that, but we associated with lots of home schooler families outside of academic settings too, and almost all of them did similar things.

Most homeschoolers do the thing with hiring a good teacher and paying them directly.
