"Well I don't think it is the schools whole responsibility to teach. 90% should be in the home..."
We know that many teachers have such a wish, but it is an unrealistic fantasy (as is most of the fiction they deliver). But how can 90 percent of a child's learning happen in the home, when they spend most of their daylight hours in school buildings? Thirty hours per week for nine months of each year is more than enough time for formal instruction to children. And they shouldn't be taught, for example, that it is heroic for a child to burn down a new restaurant to save "ground owls" (one story that is read to many public school children between ages 10 and 12).

So they come home and you have a conversation and that solves the problem doesn't. Don't get me wrong I am not a fan of public schools I just think home schooling is worse.
