How responsible should the father be towards the child's daily studies?

In my family it is my wife who is more responsible to my son's study because I work far away in another city. When I am home for the long summer vacation, it is my responsibility to teach him new lessons to be taught next term or go over the old lessons learnt last term so that he can make more progress in the new term. So I think that it is better for both the father and the mother to be responsible for the kids' study to make it more efficient. This way the one who knows more about one special subject can help teach the kid.

Studies are entirley my responsibility as my hubby has no idea how to go about it. his writing is so bad that even when he wants to help my kid says he can't understand a word of what questions his father has given him. I remember as a kid I visited a cousine and that day my uncle took upon him to teach her some English reading. He started off by making her read first the title page then the acknowledgment and then the index and by the time they reached the first chapter he was so exhausted and half an hour has passed so he just tiold my cousine to take a break. she ws in second standard. I couldn't stop laughing that day-it was hilarious. My cousine told her mum never to let my uncle teach her anything ever again.

Indeed, bringing up a child is as much a responsibility of the father as the mother. However, innmany rather "backward" or primitive culutres, this responsibility is heaped on the mother, while the father either goes around "foraging" for the family, or actually sires more kids elsewhere! But on a serious note, fathers ought to help bring up the child, that is, spend more time with them, help with homework, and even help younger ones learn basic things.
