[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who has time to supplement their child’s education? My DH and I work full time, we have zero extra time for this crap. Why, why, why are we paying taxes?[/quote] You surely can't expect people to shell out $20,000 of their own money for forty-five minute Ibram X. Kendi speeches on Zoom. It's an honor and a privilege! Anyway, you're stuck making the time unless you've got enough money for private school. Yes, it sucks. I'd advise you to figure out your best value-add as far as direct instruction -- probably reading in the early grades, math or writing afterwards. This is what will eat up most of your limited stock of time. For another subject, find a relatively self-service workbook with which your child can be sat down while you make dinner. Tack on whatever else you can in the odd hours: quiz multiplication & addition during car rides, children's classics and paired reading at bedtime, audiobooks while cleaning. [/quote]
