Never ever

It seems that asking for help on science homework is the worst of ideas. It seems that parents may think they are helping, but unless they really do know this stuff fresh they may make things more complicated and whatever they say sounds different to themselves then to us. It seems that if you complain about their ways of explanation, they deny the confusion they bring you and say you are hearing them wrong. It seems they aren't ready to admit that their mind work differently then their child's. It seem that if they want to help they either have to be good at teaching or be good and saying things in other words. And it seems that children with teacher parents are lucky... And if your parent is good at helping you with things they learned many many many many years ago, then YAY!
