Not really. There are only so many hours in the day. The time between school and bedtime is extremely limited and involves other time consuming activities such as after school sports and eating dinner.
I work on homework with my kid every day and after all those things it's not like we have time (or she has energy) to fill in holes in her at-school learning
I teach my kids valuable lessons in the car, during dinner and on evening walks. But I’m not in a country that is starving their education system.
This is asinine.
Next time you're in the car, try teaching your kid about solving systems of equations where both are linear vs one is linear and the other is parabolic. It's a lot easier to sketch it out on scratch paper than to pontificate from the driver's seat.
Try talking about history, philosophy, literature, religion, sociology, or physics while driving. Audio books exist, after all.
