you mean sending and fetching them to school even when they are old enough? well it depends on the age of the child, if the child is now able to send himself at school alone then it would be better since it teaches him of independence. but if the child is just too young or like they were still in preschool, then they must be accompanied since they can't be able to do it by themselves.

What do you mean by the parents accompanying the children to study? If they want to accompany the children to study, so that they can get excellent results, then I do not agree with it. It'll make the children think studying is the most important thing in the life, and getting good result is the only way to survive. But if the parents want to take care of the children, to raise them up to be better people, then I agree with it. I never thought of quitting my job and staying at home, taking care of my kids, until I have my first kid. He's going to be 8 months old soon, and I'm still working, but I've been thinking of resigning, so that I can spend more time with my son and take care of him. I do not really agree with the traditional ways of teaching or raising up a kid, so I always think I should be the one who's taking care of him full time, so that he will grow up to be a better person and also a happy guy.

Parents generally take care of children living,so they have more time to learn

It depends how old is the child and how far do they need to accompany them? If it isnt far and they are above 16 then I see no reason for the parent to accompany them no. I dont see it as being right or wrong tho it depends on the child and the parent and what each requires

If you are holding your childs hand through everything in life, aren't you teaching them that they are incapable of doing anything on their own??? LET THEM GO!!!! Sure we all have a few falls and failures in life but that is what makes us strong.

If you mean they homeschool them, or educate them themselves, then no I don't see anything wrong with it. I homeschool both my children, work full time from home, plus one night a week as a nurse. Lots of people may disagree with it, but I don't necessarily agree with them sending their kids to public schools. The choices each parent makes for their own child, is their right, as long as it is not abusive,or neglectful, no one should judge, or interfere.

Hi,zjcxmmail. That's definitely wrong. I would never do that.
