parent teacher

Child's adult advocates

A parent teacher is someone who educates their own children at home rather than sending them to school.

The term emphasizes the dual role: As a parent teacher, she designs her own curriculum.

Parent-teacher (hyphenated) more commonly appears as an adjective describing interactions between parents and school teachers: parent-teacher conference, parent-teacher organization.
