I welcomed parents to join my classes, ask questions worth their children, and help the flow of discussion. The openness actually put several nice parent letters in my file. As a teacher I wish I could have a vid camera in my class now.
I would be for this, but small towns and poor areas make it hard to consider. I am paying student loans and don't have a lot of extra money. Before anyone goes on about student loans: I carefully looked at wages, benefits, bonuses and raises (teacher pay is public knowledge in my state). I became a teacher just in time for a 6 year pay freeze, reduction of benefits, and insurance went to crap. I still don't make what I made in the private sector as a transportation planner for a trucking company.
Teacher unions across the country have fought to make it illegal in many / most states to record a classroom. I have done everything but beg to do this (protects me, allows me to learn from my actions / speech / body language ), but I am unable to. It is phrased as ( breaking the student privacy ). Frens, parents will need to batter down the walls that keep them out of the classroom.
A better one would actually be one where you approve which users can watch. So maybe a private discord call where parents can jump on any time, but only you can invite or kick users.

Leave and organize a teaching co-op for parents who want to homeschool their students.

You could look into setting up a password locked system that also allows you to monitor viewers.
