Yes I am a teacher and a recruiter. I do it all the time in order to accommodate my kids. It is quite tiring but not impossible. 
There is so little direct instruction these days in public schools. Teachers prepare structured lessons but most of the time it is some form of independent work (at their desk with a paper or in cooperative groups or some kind of research where the teacher is the "facilitator".

The way students are taught in publics and charters is so much different than the way students are taught in privates. Do you think parents who pay all that money will accept it when their kid comes home with homework not having a clue what to do?
A couple days ago my middle schooler came home with science homework. I helped him quite a bit but there were a few problem I was not sure how to solve. I called a physics teacher who works in a very well regarded private high school. He was quite surprised and said these was more of an AP physics problems to students who had studied mechanics for at least a year.
Maybe there are one or 2 students in my child's class who are able to do very high level work. But what about the rest? [/quote]
