Syag, my sources are
– Gemora Kidushin about responsibilities of the father to teach kids (or sons?) Torah, jobs, business, and swimming;
– Gemora Bava Basra that discusses history of Jewish public education during BM2 that lists “fathers teaching sons” as the first way they tried, but did not work universally, as not all fathers were able to teach, so they searched for other ways, but there is nothing there about this approach being wrong per se.
– Rebbe Eliezer saying that teaching girls Torah is like teaching her foolishness (some more modern poskim limit hesitation to Gemorah), so I am being very careful about how girls learn and what their motivation is.
