It doesnt have to be super fomal instruction like at school. I remeber we had half day kindergarten classes, so I would get up in the mornings for school and in the afternoons my Grandpa helped me improve my reading(by 5 I read the morning paper with him) and writing skills as well as basic math and sentance formation. It was fun, never boring or forced. It was nice spending time with my Grandpa and if I didnt wanna do it... well I never had to. Instruction can be as simple as reading a story together, or baking a cake to figure out math... writing a poem from a book to paper to practice writing.. when theyre older simple involvement in homework.. trivia games, talking to them for god's sake about current events...
Theres nothing worse than the lack of parental interaction with their kids and their childs schooling. Public or private they have to be involved. Just because a kid walks through their front door at home doesnt mean that they should stop learning.
