Then you have more experience in teaching than the average parent.
Most Native children attending public school on the reservation have classes in crafts.
And if they don't have it in school, they can always learn from family members and friends after school. There are times when we have to go over certain new math concepts with Little Horse for more than two hours, and that is not counting the other homework. And while the schoolwork itself is not drudgery, the additional seven hours of babysitting can be hard on a single individual. Perhaps it's different when the kids are twelve or older, but for young children there is still an element of babysitting along with the teaching. I cannot imagine writing our newsletter, making crafts, writing prisoners, carrying on the duties of Clan Mother, and teaching Little Horse.
