These days, if parents do not feel that they have the knowledge to help with homework, they can brush up their Maths and English skills on various free courses that are currently available. I understand that some parents may be reluctant to try to help if they are not very good at Maths and English themselves but there isn't an excuse for not getting yourself signed up for one of these courses if that's the case.
