there are many many many reasons why a parent cant help their child with homework- one is that it just doesnt work. my friend gets so frustrated with her daughter that she really cant help her and its not good for either of them. my father used to try to help me with math, but he understood it and i didnt and he was never able to explain it in a way that i understood. most people know their limitations. i dont think its fair of you to judge ALL parents who get help for their kids.
and yogi, you should know better than to make personal attacks against people. how do you know what students kids are learning from student? every child learns midos from their parents AND from their teachers. all of those good midos that your little cuties came into the classroom with at the begining of the year were learned FROM THEIR PARENTS.
