Don't get me wrong,I love helping my daughter and showing her things,but it seems like kids are expected to know so many things before they even go to school so the teachers have less work.Does anyone else notice this,or any other opinions?

I have no problem teaching my daughter at home,I taught her how to read,all that,but the reason it's on my mind is the fact she brought homework home about telling time and had never went over it in class and I had to teach her in one night.

Speaking as both a parent and a teacher, you basically have to deal with whatever hand you're dealt when it comes to raising a child and helping them with their homework. Yes, the demands these days are greater than when WE were children - no matter what your age.
If you thing something is amiss regarding your child's homework, you should - by all means - contact the teacher and get things straightened out. That's one of the other things in the parent's "job description."
Didn't mean to be smart or bum you out; that's how I feel.
We raised a child that graduated 3rd in his class and went on to become a master electrician. Most of the credit goes to the child, but part of the groundwork has to be done by the parent, which includes helping the child with early language and number skills.

Teachers generally expect that in all the time that you've had them home before they've been placed in school, that you've been teaching them. School is not the only place where learning should be occurring - children should be learning as many hours in the day as possible.
I wouldn't complain about the teacher expecting children to learn at home. Your child's academic future depends on your dedication. If you don't put the time into teaching them, and ensuring that they understand, then you are at fault.
Remember, the teacher is just the teacher. It's not their job to raise your kids. You are the parent.
Don't do your children a disservice.

I think it's because ......Us as parents are also teachers to our children, and it lets the teachers know what parents are involved in their children's work and what is going on in school..You can also look at it this way.....If a teacher didn't need our help would they be doing their job? Do they care for our children? Look at the kids that require the parents help and don't get it...My kids have learned so much in school from the teachers, that sometimes I wonder how they fit it all in, in a days work..

I empathize. It sounds such as you have a loopy time table. yet i could unquestionably examine to her whenever you in all probability can ... reading aloud has an amazingly valuable impact on childrens' fulfillment in college (whether she's already a solid reader, considering that she would be able to appreciate books that are much harder than she would be able to verify to herself, and that's the place she'll p.c.. up new vocabulary, and so on.). consistent with probability your husband might desire to examine to her at the same time as she's interior the tub? Or suited while she gets into mattress? in the adventure that your schedules somewhat do not artwork out which you will examine to her daily, might desire to you borrow some books on tape from the library that she might desire to take heed to? consistent with probability once you're driving her to or from college? or a minimum of set a time while she would be able to verify to herself. finally, i could quite have the abode a sprint messier and discover time for reading on a daily foundation. in case you are able to dirt or vacuum much less often, as an occasion, it is somewhat worth it for the time you are able to spend reading..... sorry the instructor isn't being a sprint extra effectual in terms of giving sensible techniques quite than only making you sense undesirable.

It might be a reversal of roles, as most teachers I know end up having to handle more "parent-type" discipline issues than really teaching.

i think that the teachers just want the parents to get involved in educating their children.

teachers are to teach readin' writin' and 'rithmetic--Parents are suposed to potty train and all the other social and emotional training. Parents, not TV.
