"A. Parents are not educated enough...."

I do not have a college degree nor did I obtain my high school diploma while attending public school. I dropped out of school in the 9th grade and opted for an adult education class to get my high school diploma. I would not hire someone with my education background to teach my children. Yet, because of that, I am picky about the source of education materials that my Wife and I make available for them.

"B. Parents have to work ......."

We are blessed to afford a one income family. My wife is a wonderful coach for their success and a guardian if their minds. We work hard to ensure that they are well informed and able to make the best available decision. They understand that when you don't make a decision, you empower other to decide for you. Likewise, they are aware that actions have just as many consequences as inaction.

"C. Parents are aware that they do not have the right temperment to teach......"

Takes a lot of patience and consistency... just like being a parent.

"D. Parent doesn’t want to be bothered......"

This one makes me sad and angry. Children are not pets that you send to a kennel. Yet, some treat the public school system as such. Great way to make kids feel unloved and teachers unappreciated.

Great response. You are a thoughtful person, and wise in ways that cannot be taught, but can be demonstrated.
