Adding to the school curriculum is something different and something that parents should be doing, but not handling their entire education.

Quick survey here. How many people had parents that ADDED homework to your list? Who taught them subjects at the kitchen table, usually years before the schools did? Who took them to the library a couple of times a week, and provided a full set of encyclopedias at home (pre cdrom and internet)? When I hear about ONLY homeschooling, I usually feel bad for the kids, who miss out on all the things that public school DOES bring to the table. And I cannot imagine not getting part-time home schooling to fill in the corners, and test to make sure it is all sticking. Just wondering if my experience was normal (as I always assumed), or not the norm.
