I disagree, strongly.  Have you ever really looked at the homework kids bring home?

Math is unrecognizable when compared to how it was taught 20+ years ago.  I know I never ran into all the ridiculous ways that kids have to be able to visualize and show their work.  While I’m totally onboard with teaching to a child’s learning style and teaching in such a way that every child can learn, most parents have no idea how to do or explain most of the concepts.

Kids are reading stories at a higher level, linking to information in a way most kids never did when we went to school.  Science has grown by leaps and bounds, and even social studies is not taught the way we learned.

I’ve worked and volunteered in schools long enough to know how many parents and caregivers struggle.  I’ve also tutored parents and caregivers, simply so that they are capable of helping their children.

OTOH, I think the PP who said that getting a nanny for the majority of time and supplementing with a tutor might be on the right track.  It would depend on how many hours the child needed a tutor, since most parents aren’t going to be inclined to pay two people.[/quote]
