Most people are not proficient enough to teach. I'm great at many subjects, horrible at others. However, in a pandemic, I would certainly step up and find a way for my child to have the best possible education. Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures.
The vast majority of parents can teach their K-8 children a standard curriculum. High School students are capable of taking classes on line. What topic would you have a problem teaching if you reviewed the text book? For me, it would be Spanish, maybe.

I wouldn't know. I wasn't homeschooled, other than being a voracious reader and an autodidact. I learned the term when I was at university, studying in the STEM departments.

I have not read that study. Can you link? Is it peer reviewed?

As a stem major, I am sure you are familiar with peer reviewed scientific studies.

I never learned that term, nor have I ever heard it. So I googled it. You are the expert on that term it seems.

There doesn't need to be a "study" when democrat mayors are publicly stating their cities' schools won't open in the fall.

I googled it like you suggested and the first article was about NYC schools being opened. I'm not buying your study. I'd link to it but it was a Washington post article behind a fire wall.
