I went to a private school in India where they only admitted students from families where there was at least one parent who had a graduate degree and knew English. If there weren’t any family who could assist the child, fees for mandatory remedial after school tutoring classes was included. There were programs for those who couldn’t afford the fees. One of my classmates had both parents who were mute+hearing impaired and he got all the after hours assistance. I grew up in a large multi generational family where all the cousins grew up together. My uncle took care of math/physics/chemistry. My aunt was in charge of English/reading and one of our morning rituals was when we’d sit around her and she’d read out from the newspaper. My grandfather took care of evening sports, chess and history/geography. My mother liked languages and taught us how to read and write in non English languages by reading from vernaculars. Also creative writing. There were 3-5 of us at any given time. Sometimes our friends and neighbors’ kids also joined us. Our hired help/maid had two kids and her daughter joined us for a while. I cannot imagine going to school in the United States and utterly enjoying every single day of school life. I guess my point is that schools are not baby sitting facilities funded by tax payers. Without parent involvement and encouragement, there cannot be a full and rounded educational experience. It blows my mind that in America, public schools are literally raising the kids. I have seen entire generations being raised by the state and that’s not necessarily a good thing.
