'Always. Daily. Other parents do - they just aren't telling you'
'Parents! Don't assume they are being taught well at school. You might get lucky. Great! But don't assume it. Teach them after school. Daily. Always. Other parents do. They just aren't telling you.
'Schools, even the BEST schools, can only do so much Parents can do 1-1 instruction and can revisit before bedtime or provide different 'instructors' for the same thing. The power of the family is HUGE. Yet all we do is say,"schools should teach that!",' she added. Despite her comments infuriating teachers and some parents, many other parents tweeted their support, saying they 'agree 100%' with her views and advice. 'Couldn't agree more. My kids never stop learning because my wife and I have brought them up by reflecting on our own childhood, not repeating mistakes observed and learning new things as we go. Another teacher, @MrsHRCrowther, said her own young daughter would be 'lost' without a timetable of work set at home.
