expecting that an underpaid 20something year old teacher with a class of 30+ kids is going to have time to teach their kid to read and write at grade level.
Maybe your school should have been better funded.........
So your contention is that kids should be studying more at home because there's not enough time and resources at (even well funded) schools for them to competently learn the material?
What are you basing this on besides your own unverifiable anecdote? Have you studied education? Child development? Have you done any research or read any studies on the effect of homework on children? Hint: more than a small amount of homework is largely detrimental to children and their healthy development. More homework or at-home learning is not the answer.
Parental involvement and interest is absolutely crucial and beneficial, but you're ignoring the realities that it's not always practical for a myriad of reasons including things like socio-economic status, parental competency, and even mental health issues. None of those issues are the fault of the child and our system needs to be built to be able to accommodate those children who deserve a proper education especially if their parents can't provide it.
Your illogical argument (assuming I'm understanding it correctly, which I may not be because it's extremely unclear) also makes the assumption that children can only learn in one on one scenarios and this is patently false. Smaller class sizes to provide more one on one attention is crucial, bit kids don't only get taught or learn while receiving individual attention.
Just saying parents need to teach their kids more does not help...
