I find this doubly interesting in the context of homeschooling.

Often the parent's goals are to make the student as capable of being self-taught as possible. After the early years, the parent essentially steps into the role of tutor. You look for shortcomings and help the student step through those knowledge gaps. Otherwise the student can go as quickly or slowly through the material as they need to

Not that this scales, we'd have to look elsewhere for that, but interesting to see this function in a small community.
