"They still need to teach them at home for them to turn out intellectual." This last part isn't quite right. I don't think it is sensible to imply that you can't turn out intellectual without some kind of home teaching. Lots of parents don't have the capacity, or the time, or the inclination to home teach or even home assist. Their children are not doomed to a life of poor intellect. In some cases all you have to do is get the hell out of the way and let the child learn without being punished for taking their own creative path.
