Was it your entire schooling education (K-12)? Teachers usually specialize in one or two subjects; fairly rare for one teacher to have expertise in everything from calculus, world history, biology, chemistry, physics, literature etc. I could see it feasible maybe through middle school, but high school, especially with AP/Dual-Enrollment, extracurriculars for college entrance etc. it’d be too hard to replicate.

See I don't understand this logic train. Because I think intellectual aptitude covers all topics. I consider myself a smart person. And I think that I could teach my child, if I had one, better than a school would that has 1 teacher for every 10 students that they have to spread their focus on and don't have a natural instinct to care about. They might have their own desire to make them learn and grow, but you can't match a parents care for wanting their child to be the best they can be. No one will put more effort in than a concerned parent.
I think if you're smart enough to understand calculus and be able to explain it to someone, then you can also understand chemistry and be able to explain it to someone. I think if you're basically smart enough to learn anything you try to, then there's nothing you can't master and teach and give to others in learning. I think in terms of homeschooling if you are smart and you're a 1:1 educator to student then that student is going to have the best education they could possibly get. But I think they'll obviously miss out on developing socially normally without other things put into place to make sure they socialize.
