[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is directed towards posters who retort “teach them yourselves!” when parents complain that their school doesn’t teach phonics, handwriting, spelling, grammar, multiplication tables, etc.

The *only* thing parents should be responsible for is ensuring their kids are well fed and rested, and mentally and physically ready to learn at school. If there are not enough hours in the school day to do everything, teachers should be sending explicit instructions to the parents about what to do at home (eg please have your child drill these times tables until they’ve memorized them). This is also known as “homework”.[/quote]

No. Your entire post is the height of parental laziness.[/quote]

Lol, no. I am the least lazy parent. I take my kids to museums, hikes, volunteer activities, cultural activities. Play with them outside a lot. I also have the time to fill in curriculum gaps if I needed to (though I send to private so I don’t have to). However, many parents are time-poor or lack the education and resources themselves to recognize and fill in curriculum gaps. They shouldn’t have to. Their kids SHOULD be educated well enough at school so that they don’t have to.[/quote]

Oh, you take them to MUSEUMS! ROFL. Parent of the Year over here.  :lol: [/quote]
