[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you, very much, to everyone who has taken the time to respond. Is it realistic to think that an au pair who speaks reasonable English (perhaps from Germany or Poland) would do homework with the children? This would mostly involve reading with the children and/or having the children read with her. [/quote] Yes, but they won't *teach* your children. Our German au pair was great at sorting through the homework and keeping kids on task, but didn't understand common core math anymore than I do. The level of education and the quality of education is vastly different in different parts of the world. A german or polish au pair will be much different helping with homework than maybe an au pair from an area of the world that doesn't have great secondary education. If your kids are young elementary, it would be easier for all. [/quote]
