This is actually a magic trick that I've seen on Carbonaro Effect a couple of times.
Home Schooling today is online and fully interactive with the Teaching Faculty, what you describe as "looking into things that interested you" is the principle behind "unschooling" 😉
Here again, your comments appear to support a 1 to 1 based approach to learning which is possible with "home schooling" but will never be in the mainstream education system.

I would agree that Children (who could use more assistance) slip though the cracks in the system because they are able to perform at an "acceptable" level, these Students either "find their groove" independently or fail to achieve their potential, one size does not fit all.Modern day homeschooling probably would have been ideal for me really, but the technology wasn't there yet and dialup internet wasn't super reliable. Yes, I do support a more personal approach with certain students like myself that learn differently than the majority. I've been tested multiple times in school for learning disabilities and every time the tests showed I didn't, so kids like myself kind of slipped through the cracks.
I cannot speak for the American home schooling model but here in Australia Students can choose between 100% remote learning OR part time on campus/home schooling, in addition there are community based interactive programs like Sporting Clubs, Scouts Troops & Church Groups etc.The downside of homeschooling however is missing the social aspect of school.
The more I study and learn, the more convinced I become of how ignorant I am of things. There is simply an infinity of knowledge that is out there.
