I am not a teacher but I did volunteer in my children's classroom when they were young. I do understand what you mean by the range in comprehension. I am not counting the other things a parent does to enhance a child's learning experience as homework time - so we all might be saying the same thing. I will give a small example which might illustrate having an enhanced learning experience. One of my volunteer assignments was to teach children math using coins. My son and daughter were naturally motivated to understand how much money they had because I had them save money buy things at a very young age. I was shocked that some classmates did not understand denominations and others could not do the math. My husband made coin dice for the classroom kids. They rolled the dice and added the values to figure out how much money they had on the coins. This was a big hit with the kids. What I didn't want to do was do homework for my kids or give answers. Discovery is how children learn. My kids ended up proud of what they could do on their own. When they failed - we discussed taking ownership of failure.
