[QUOTE="504RP, post: 1696881, member: 40335"] Shell, I think your wrong to call yourself dumb and feel you can't teach you kid's things yourself. Schools, teacher's, books, computers are all tools used to teach kid's and adults alike how to learn themselfs things that are of interest to them. Learning starts from the time a baby is slapped on its behind at birth and takes its first breath until the day it takes its last breath and dies. Alot of people are under the impression that education doesn't start until a kid starts its first day of school and doesn't have an education until it graduates and receives a diploma symbolizing such. That's the norm anyway. When it comes to schools. I think alot of parents anymore have come to the conclusion that all they have to do is to send their kids to school and it's the schools responsibility to educate their kids for them. I think parents who have that conclusion are in for a big let down. And will probably blame the school for their kids not getting the education they feel their kids should have ended up with. When in reality thoes kind of parents should be blaming themselfs for not doing their part in helping teach their kids themselfs. Parents are perfectly capable of learning the same thing they are exspecting their kids to learn at school. It's as much if not more the parents place to help and work with the school to help teach their kids. As it is the schools. Parents have the same access to all thoes learning tools ( teachers,books,computers, etc..., ) that their kids have access too. So there is no excuse why any parent can't help their kid's learn. Not only in school subjects but in life in general. If that parent is having to learn for the first time themselfs what their kids are having to learn. That's all the better. It never hurts to learn new things. Why should a parent exspect their kids to learn something they aren't capable of doing themselfs ? When it comes to what type of school a parent decides to send their kids to. School is very important too. My granddaughters parents decided on a private school run by a church up until she started the 5th grade. They decided to put her in a public school. She was right where the church oriented school felt she should be but, was way behind in learning for the public school. It took alot private tutoring that first year to catch her up with the rest of her class in the public school. So she was well prepared for Sunday school but would not of been prepared for the job market once she finished high school. Their reason for putting her in the private church school to begin with was to shield her from real life or the real world. In the private school she wasn't treated like she would be out the real world like everybody deals with on a daily basis. So my point is Shell there is a whole lot you yourself can do in your kids schooling if you want too. But that will mean getting more involved yourself and quit depending so much on the school to do it for you. [/QUOTE]
