[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg. My kids are plenty privileged but I'm still not equipped to administer their checkups or fill their cavities or teach them math. If school is important to any kids, then it's important to all kids. Some kids have a bigger gap to bridge or more needs that the school system can address, but that's not the same thing. Couple that with the facts that (1) the expectation that society stop until the time there's a "vaccine" is unrealistic and (2) kids are not as at-risk or significant vectors for this based on everything we know -- that's why my kids "need" to be in school.[/quote]

For young kids k-5 you can do the math, you don't want to.  Once they hit algebra its harder but thankfully one parent in our family can do advanced math.  Your kids don't need to be in school as they can DL or hire a tutor.  You want them in school.[/quote]

DP.  I taught both my kids to read at 4 and yes, grade school math isn't hard.  However, they learned to write at school and they learned so much more.

School is not just the three Rs.  No matter your SES.[/quote]

For us it was mostly teaching at home.  K-5 was a joke.[/quote]
