I did that with mine and they went to school armed with some questions which was always getting them into trouble. Parents evening was great fun and I had several discussions with their teachers.
The funny part was my kids came home at lunch time as I only lived 100 yards away and their friends loved meeting me because of the things I said. My kids used to say 'Don't ask him any questions that need long answers' but they did poor things.
I loved pointing out things and making them think. The teachers got all the questions then they checked the answers with me. My favourite, which didn't exist when I was a kid, was politics. They got some interesting discusions then.
The problem now is they teach them things is a different way. I can barely understand some of the basics. I taught my grandaughter the alphabet and when she went to school it was all wrong. Kicking K and Curly C. WTF. But I will persevere.
