Thank you again for sharing these questions about me about wearing two hats in the family and the parent/teacher balance.

I thought about what you said quite a bit and wrote a blog about why I feel that parents are the best teachers for their child.

We are teaching our kids many "non-academic" skills all the time but don't see that as stepping into a specific role. I don't think that this needs to be the case either in homeschooling.

I've also included some resources which I think will address your concerns about expertise in certain speciality areas like math/science.

I didn't directly address assessment here, but there are some great ones you can use such as mobymax, cogat and others - as well as mastery-based digital learning apps that have built in assessment.
