A comment: even if they feel overwhelmed and factually not up to the task the simple fact that they are showing a keen interest in the child’s education will on average yield benefits. A child that has it demonstrated to them that education matters may not always take it to heart, nothing is perfect and hard cases will still happen, but many will.
Schools fail because parents often use them as babysitters and expect the “professionals” to achieve results without their involvement.
Bump!
