2. How many hours a week do you spend actually giving your child a hand with their homework? (it's not about giving them the answer but more about supporting them in the process of learning)

5. How well do you know your child teachers? Do you respect them as people and as professional? Are they the kind of role model you want for your children? (it is not criticizing; it is about being interested in people who actually see your children as much as you do)
