Hmmm...interesting. I thought you were talking about going to a pro to improve your racing or at least high intensity cycling performance. I'm considering that for mountain biking 'cause I just suck on a mountain bike. As soon as the terrain turns downhill I'm shelled off the back. What you're talking about sounds more like rich yuppies paying good money for something everybody knows how to do . Just kidding. It does seem a bit odd. Granted many parents don't ride bikes and so really couldn't teach their kids even assuming the kids were interested in learning. My wife certainly needs professional lessons 'cause she has no clue and won't listen to me. She grew up riding a single speed coaster brake bike and doesn't know how to use the gears on a multispeed bike. She told me once she wants a bike with an automatic transmission. Maybe a pro could help her. I haven't haven't had much luck.
