Aibu to agree completely with this teacher? Teaching should not just be trusted to the teachers?

Article is from last year. But I agree that parents should not just rely on schools to teach their children. Also she's right that many parents do extra at home but don't tell.

Nar, I teach my children about the world, financial literacy, safe sex, keeping yourself mentally and physically healthy, emotional intelligence, plus a myriad of other things. I’ll leave the fractions to the teachers, plus a lot of families won’t have time now working full time in demanding jobs just to turn the bastard heating on.

I wish every school and head teacher was like her.

Birbalsingh is an utter arsehole for saying this about the teaching children have: They might be well-taught if they get lucky.

That's how low she sets the bar. That's what she thinks of teachers. Crucially, and by extension it must be what she thinks of the teachers/teaching in her school.

Nonsense

If the kids are bottom of the class, it has nothing to do with the reading when they are toddlers. By the time they finish reception, or Y1 at the latest, most of the "non-readers" have caught up with the "fluent readers", usually flying ahead.

It IS the school's job to teach the children to read, they're 4 and 5 when they start anyway, they don't need to learn before that 😂
How boring if they go through all the Phonics learning but Pushy Mummy has already taught them everything, or thought she did.

Teach your child to put a coat on , change his tshirt, do his shoe laces, wipe his bum, carry his food tray before they start school, and take turn because they are not the most interesting people in the classroom and it's not all about them, that would be a lot more helpful.
