Actually, not all Homeschool Moms aren't not teachers. I've been homeschooled my entire life and my mother has done a good job, if I may flaunt my intelligence and say so:-D
She actually sits with us and helps us with our work, and as a bonus, brought us up to be respectful and quiet Devil Children in public and at home (as opposed to Regular Devil Children).
I do know where you are coming from, though. I know several families who barely do any work at all and are pains in the rear, even people who do their child's work so their child will get good grades. I really don't see how that helps anything.
I especially love the families that run homeschool organizations, like basketball, for example. On the team I played for, the children of the coach thought they were all that and did nothing more than insult everyone else on the team. I did derive much joy, though, from telling them off several times.
As for the script thing, I know of something even "better": Video Classes. The parents that do that actually do "do nothing".
