(16,232 posts)Absolutely no idea what you're taking about.
Most people in this entire thread have no idea. Unless you've done it, lived it, breathed it - you don't know. You have some distorted uneducated idea, but you don't know.
I know single moms,. poor parents, middle class, sacrificinf, and yeah well off, too. I know people of every stripe socio- economically, religious or not, pagan, liberal, fundie, religious, atheist, Buddhist, bright and advanced, aspie, autistic, add, ADHD, different, weird, global learner, learning differenced, and any and all combinations of the above aforementioned.
It's about what is the best learning medium for your child. In this day and age, you don't have to be a fing expert on any damn subject. What you need to know is readily available. I haven't met many teachers in my long lifetime (and raising kids) who are THAT knowledgeable about much of anything except maybe their "speciality" and even then, sometimes I wonder.
