There is another option not yet mentioned, which is the actual reality. Home Teaching is an ASSIGNMENT. When you support the Elders' Quorum President you agree to support him in his role as EQP. (Same with High Priest Group Leader) The EQP has the calling with the responsibility of ensuring the needs of all the families in his quorum are met. The HPGL has the equivalent responsibility as part of his calling. There is no way the EQP can visit every family every month by himself. As such, he hands out assignments. Every member of the Elders' Quorum is eligible to receive this assignment. You CAN (and I have) decline the assignment if you believe you are unable to fulfill it. Home Teaching has been compared to Assigned Friendships.

Visiting Teaching is similar in that it is an assignment from the Relief Society President who has the responsibility to ensure all the needs of the sisters are met.
