when i was little young, in school, i was commanded by my teacher to do homework at home, such as learn how to count the numbers. my parents both are impatient, so my dad ask mom to teach me, while mom ask dad. how about in your family? father's responsibilty or mother's?

I strongly think that the mother is more responsible then father regarding the study of children.

why do you think mother is more responsible regarding the study of children? for mother is more patient? or it's women's duty? lol. but in my opinion, parents are both have duty to their children's study. the one who is vacant do help kids' study.

I think,it is the responsibility of the kids to study..The parents can just guide them and father or mother is dependent on their availability and their own capability to teach a particular subject.It is the mother who is doing the job most of the time as she is a house wife for a long time.But after the women have started to go for jobs,they too feel tired and so sending the kids to tuition is a good another choice.Cheers!

hi, mostly fathers go out for a job, so fathers would be very tired after a day's work. if his wife taking good care of his family, that's a fortune to him.

well, as with everything (so sad to write, hear and tell), it is the mother's responsibility. i don't know but there is an english expression that people say when a son goes awry and the blame in that expression definietly goes out to the mother. i've never heard of an expression to a wayward person degrading the father. besides, it is always the mom who, most of the time gets the kids, so i guess the law sees this taking care of a child's needs as being naturally given by a mother. and that includes making sure the child studies. just my opinion. peace

hi, ritchelle. thx for what you have said. as the women liberation for many years, and women now get equal chance in work. women are easier to get a job. on this topic, i think it also should be equal to man and woman.

Both parents are responsible to make a child's future and the future includes obviously the education he will get afterwards so both have a duty to watch over if the children are studying. My parents were never teaching me as they did not had time so my three sisters and my brother were helping me out as I am the smallest one at home. Even today my brother helps me to improve my results.

hi, med. you are lucky to be the smallest one at your home. the smallest one often gets the most love in a family. not only love from parents, but also love from sisters and brothers. i have a younger brother, so i cared him a lot when we were little. but now, he cares me more, cause men care about women. lol

for me both parents need to be there to their children by guiding them in their studies.not only for mothers but also i encourage father to teach their kids or help on their assignments.

For me, only if the kids can grow up healthily, I will be satisfied no matter how his performace in school. Without mom or dad, kids won't be happy and I assumed that parents should both take part in the teaching. However we are professional on the maths or arts or not, it doesn't matter, we should spend our time on our kids, maybe just encourage or just accompany.

thanks for your answer, you gave an important point, that nomatter we are good at maths or arts or not, we could accompany them at home, not every kid would go to harvard or get a good career in their future, but they do need parents' love.

both parents should teach them. though my parents hired a tutor then when i was in HS i did it all my own til college. but if i have my own children i will do it. but if my husband has free time he could teach them too.
