Without help at home my child my struggle or not at the same level as peers.

I have come to realise that if I don’t teach my child at home even though they going to school they will not achieve their full potential which I’m glad to know and I have started doing. I have always read to my kids but not much maths. Is it too much to expect school and trust them about your child education. Can you please share your experience. I feel the method I have started is just not fair for the kids, they go to school got swimming, dance, martial art and also tutoring by mum. Not much fun time.

All children need to learn at home as well as at school

Imo it’s not about trusting school but rather the practice has to be done at home, there’s simply not enough time in a school day to leave everything to the teachers. You wouldn’t have your child attend piano lessons once a week, never have them practise at home and expect to pass a grade 7 easily

By teach do you mean help them with homework? How old is your child? Children with involved parents who support learning at home always make more progress.

If your child is unhappy, why are you forcing them to do so many activities. How much 'tutoring' are you doing?

How old is your child? How many times a week are they doing activities? Do you collect them from school or are they in after school care?

How much help are we talking? And what friends are you comparing them to? There's lots of distractions in lessons, I'm not surprised.

As others have said, it really does depend on the level of help you are referring to but I see reading daily and regular maths at home as the bare minimum parents should be doing with their children to support their education.

The regular practice and exposure is what leads to long term success, not relying on school to do it all.

Well if they are being tutored by mum then they are getting help at home. In some cultures it is expected that school and home are kept completely separate and the parents trust that what the school does is Ok. In other cultures it is expected that school learning is supplemented by many hours of outside learning after school every night. In the UK it is a happy medium, but parents who are interested in their child’s education are generally involved.

Check the school website, they generally have curriculum maps to show what the children are currently learning, and often suggestions for parents. Or ask the teacher what is they suggest you do at home.

Is there anywhere you haven’t spammed?!!

Some children will 'get it' when first taught something. Others need to be shown it many times, and need much more practice to consolidate their learning.

A teacher teaching 30 children is presumably going to work to somewhere in the middle, which means some children will be a bit bored by all the repetition (and will hopefully be given additional challenges) and others will be a bit too stretched by the pace (and will hopefully be given a bit of extra support to keep up.) I can't see how a teacher can deliver the learning at a perfect pace for all of those children, all of the time.

If yours is one that needs some extra support, it's great that you're able to offer that yourself at home. Other parents might engage a tutor. Some will do nothing and their children will struggle to keep up.
