Well-played, Nautigal!

So, let me see if I understand this idea correctly.

Educators (and many, many others) are in near-universal agreement that parental involvement with a child's education is very important --- nay, critical! --- to that child's success in school.

Unless, of course, Mom and/or Dad is teaching the kid something that hasn't been covered yet. In too many cases, this practice is somehow perceived as a bad thing and is wrong. If this weren't the case, why do we agonize over letting our kids do what they can do?

Did I get this right? Can someone explain this to me?
