What the teachers teach kids is about half of the reason why schools exist, it's also responsible for teaching kids to be functional members of society.
Every institution has a set of rules to follow, be that school, prison or your workplace, so that's pretty much where the similarities begin and end.
My aunt does try to have her children interact with other children via organized homeschooling meetings and feel trips (which contradicts her idea that things should not be systematic). And, more often than not, the parents will eventually reach a level to where they are unable to support their learning needs. This is when it's best to put your kids in a public school.

My aunt is disabled and hasn't have a stable job in at least a year. Regardless, she's an adult, and she should know that there are times when organized systems are needed. If she is unable to see this, she should not be schooling her children in the first place.
