No, I'm not suggesting that you should give up your job.

But can you give up half an hour an evening, to work with your kids on... well, on anything that would help fill in the gaps? That costs time and energy, and it's hard after working all day. But it can make a difference.

Maybe a starting point is to identify what the gaps are. Whatever your kids' district is doing, what isn't working? What specifically isn't working for your kids? Is there anything you can do to help that for your kids?

It's not all or nothing. But each bit costs time, thought, maybe some money, and energy. Still, despite the costs, I'd encourage you to try to do what you can.
