More to the point, where do they learn to read and write!!? As soon as they start at Hogwarts they're writing foot-long essays etc!.

It doesn't make any sense!. If all children from wizarding families have to be home-schooled, one parent in *every* family must have to not work!. That's leaving aside that many people aren't cut out to teach anyway!.

It also means they all arrive to live-in dorms when never even having functioned away from their parents before, or having been in any kind of school-environment!. You don't automatically learn that kind of thing, look at any 4 year old class to see!.

Muggle-born kids would be streets ahead in all aspects of socialising and education, basically!.

And think of all the other things they don't teach!.!.!. art, music (though added for the films), geography etc!

Okay this is wrecking my head now XDWww@QuestionHome@Com

Muggle-born wizards go to regular school, just as Harry did, and learn math and science that way!. I believe that wizards born into Wizarding families are taught by their families!. However, in the cases of wealthy families like the Malfoys, it's possible that they may have had a paid tutor come in to teach them the basics!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They don't really need any more Math or Science class after age 11, I guess!. The parents teach them the basics of education, then ship them off to wizarding school, where they learn magic!. I guess Potions counts as Chemistry, and Transfiguration and Charms may be Biology and Physics!.
I guess some of them are just born amazing writers, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, they don't go to wizarding school until they're 11, so they learn basic math at home!. And they don't really need science, because science doens't apply in magic!. Besides, those subjects help muggles because they need them for jobs and later in life!. It doesn't really work the same in the wizarding world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They might learn that by themselves, or their parents teach them, and at Hogwarts, they learn Potions, which can be like Chemistry(Science) and Hermione takes Arithmancy, which is like math!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They can't because they're Fictional!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
