Sounds great except the fact that if they need us to teach our kids math history and reading then what am I paying the teacher for? It is bad enough I have to correct what the teacher teaches to my kids.

Education begins at the home. The fact that you and so many others have dumped that responsibility off onto someone else is the bulk of the problems we face in the public education system.

And I didn't say you had to correct everything the teacher does. I said you need to be involved in your kid's education. If you don't think that as a parent you bare responsibility in how your child is educated then you are solely to blame if they grow up to be an uneducated failure.
