[quote=Anonymous]It's also because educated parents can supplement themselves during ECE and elementary, especially early elementary. They can read to their kids every night. They know basic phonics, so if a kid isn't taught that ph sounds like f, a parent can teach him. They can teach their kid how to carry a one in addition if their teacher didn't explain it well. At some point in early to middle ES, they start signing their kids up for Mathnasium or some other math program because, while they may know the math involved, the way it's taught is quite different. In some cases, in early elementary school, almost no math is taught. Parents figure this out and "supplement." As the kids get older...parents don't know how to teach them chemistry or physics or geometry or a foreign language they may have studied but have almost totally forgotten. Or their kids are studying a language they never studied. And the parents realize...they just can't do it anymore. [/quote]
