In regards to using your resources to supplement the education, two points:
One, some people do. And for those considering home schooling, they ought to consider this as an option. My wife and I have.
Two, given the time demands of school itself, homework, music lessons, extracurricular activities, and so forth, this approach may lead to a more stressful and harried lifestyle than the parents want for their children. Home schooling allows them to improve education while lessening the time demands on their children.

versus the unstressful and unharried life of being in tough major in a strong university, or going to law school or medical school?
There is always time to bone up on this academic thing or that.
There is rarely going to be time to develop a jump shot and crossover dribble.
