Try talking about history, philosophy, literature, religion, sociology, or physics while driving. Audio books exist, after all.

that's not germane to this conversation. it's about parents without formal teaching certs working with their children to given them what they need to excel.

Sure those things (history/philosphy/etc) matter but in our society you still have to do well on math tests to do well in life.

As a parent you can teach them directly (homeschool) or augment a public school education, but the augmentation route needs to be done in slack time, which is tough.
