PP here. I stated this poorly. The immigrant was a Hispanic immigrant, but I've seen this attitude with both AA and Hispanics. They believe that school should teach them everything they need to know. My point was that Asians don't believe this and actively teach and read to their kids outside of school.

Perhaps you are stating it poorly again.  Was the person aghast at the idea of teaching extra because it's too much, or because they felt the school WOULD teach everything they needed to know?[/quote]

Yes! WOULD teach not SHOULD teach. That’s the “attitude.” I wish more understood it’s not about us being lazy or neglectful parents.[/quote]

Pay more attention to educating your children like other parents.[/quote]

It's probably not a problem for people hanging out in an AAP forum.[/quote]

Then they should not be saying dumb things like ' I thought all public schools taught everything students needed so I don't have to pay any attention.'[/quote]

NP.  When DH and I went to grade school (different states, both public school districts), school did teach us everything we needed to learn.  [/quote]
