[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is this even a complaint? You think asking for a parent's help in an assignment from a teacher is inequitable?

If it's graded on whether a parent helped, then maybe. If an adult, any adult, can't help your child with their homework, that's really awful.

The government is not responsible for everything for your child except for food and a place to sleep. Really re-think how much your believe you are entitled to. [/quote]

Again, some of you either can’t read, or argue for the sake of arguing. Go back and re-read the OP. I said it’s wrong for schools to expect parents to research gaps in curriculum and fill them in. Parents are welcome to do what they wish, but they shouldn’t have to make up for a school’s failing.[/quote]

But failing how? Failing because they don't teach an entire subject matter? That's not a failing when clearly the curriculum is based on state curriculum. What needs to be taught is being taught, even if your child doesn't grasp it.
The rest of the things parents add to their children's education is by choice. If I want my child to learn cursive, I teach him/her cursive. I'm not going to demand the school system adds that to their list of subjects taught because I want it and maybe you don't have time to teach your child too?

That's odd rationale.  There are so many things we teach our children every day that the school is not responsible for. Public school has limitations. Find a private school which fits all the things that you deem important that will make your child competitive with others. If you can't afford private school, lobby for changes to the public curriculum. It's a matter of resources and opinion.[/quote]
