I don't need the schools to help raise my kids | Letters

(RE: State of the schools article):

I am raising my children, teaching them life lessons, and providing for their basic needs.

I would kindly appreciate the schools stepping away from this "role" and concentrate on teaching them math, history, language (reading-writing). Is that not your job? Mine is to be their parent, one I take very seriously, and I do not need the schools' help "raising" my kids.
