If you need a "quick" way to help your children understand the "basic elements" of education, without going back and "re-doing" all the lessons they ....ummmmm well...... missed in k-3rd grade, wait until the child is about 10 years old and can read on his or her own.
Have the child READ through a children's reading encyclopedia that covers many different themes and ideas that are basic to education as a whole. Foundational things basically.
Here is a great example:
https://www.amazon.com/Home-Adventure-Library/dp/B002HY381U/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1512059415&sr=8-14&keywords=Home+Adventure+Library
Have the child read through each story, write a few sentences about the story he or she read, and then test the child's knowledge.
Do not worry, a child, so long as they are not severely disabled CAN learn to read and understand basic education things.
The more difficult thing actually comes from teaching the child to HAVE a good attitude when it comes to the basics of life......hence, I recommend regular bible study and practice!
Note: Some of the older books and encyclopedias may contain "unproven evolutionary nonsense" or "racist ideas" or "culture misrepresentations" and so forth. This doesn't mean the books are entirely FALSE, its just that false ideas exist. Simply GLEAN what you believe will help the child understand the basics.

Careers for people with an 8th Grade Education
A person could even go down to a 5th or 4th grade education if they really wanted to go back to traditional ways.
Education can become an "idol" for people and people do not realize it. When education becomes the idol, then it can turn into a form of oppression towards those who are weak in society (such a case occurs when people criminalize people who set up various roadside stands with no real criminal support and the things are sold without "inspection" or approval).
The beliefs of a person with an 8th grade education MUST contain some sort of "non-resistance" or else they will follow the "worldly" pattern which says to "hate your enemy."
Here is a list of things that a person with an 8th Grade education can accomplish for a career:
1. Bake foods and create foods to sell
2. Raise farm produce
3. Basket weaving
4. Janitor and housecleaning work
5. Wild-foods gathering
6. Simple recipe and remedy book writing (book writing isn't very profitable but it can be a way to make a little extra income)
7. Sewing household items
8. Sewing basic clothing
9. Basic building and construction
10. Truck driving
11. Any type of teenage employment (grocery, restaurant, bank teller etc etc.)
12. Heavy lifting and moving
I do not believe in "avoiding" wisdom or living a foolish life, but the general life can be found by simply doing the basic things for others. After 8th Grade a person of faith should support "continuing education" in some way or another.

Using the bible helps prevent "burn out"
If you are having a "bad day" in education and you can't seem to find all the paperwork and "power" within or the energy to look up or teach certain facts and figures that are "of this world," do not worry.
The BIBLE alone (KJV works great in English) will help restore such energy when it comes to education. It contains many truths that will apply to many different subjects in many different ways.
Some families have enough energy and equipment in their own home to read through the bible in a year. That is wonderful if you are able to do just that. Others simply have enough time to read through a chapter a week. That is ok too!
If you are having a bad time dealing with something simply read and ask your child about the passage that you have read. The child will learn many things by this read and reflect method.
Later, when the children can read and write independently, they may use textbooks to enhance their learning and study independently.
