I think it depends on the kids and their situation.
One of my kids had no problem with reading, but the other had a really hard time with cueing. I was surprised to find that it's part of the curriculum in both Ontario and NB. Fortunately, both provinces seem to be switching back to phonics.
Another parent in my cohort found their daughter was having difficulty with math, got little support from the teacher, and ended up teaching her daughter remedial math in the evenings.
So far, other kids and parents have been fine.
Those stories mirror my own experiences with school and teachers. I, too, had to take on teaching math and, more surprisingly, how to actually approach the challenge of learning.
Yet, somehow, at the block parties, dinner parties, BBQs, picnics, and across the back fence I could always count on people to complain about how badly this or that person or couple was at parenting. Rarely did I hear people complain about schools or teachers except in the most egregious failures.
