According to a recent survey conducted through the Intel Corporation, parents are more comfortable talking with their kids about drugs than about science and math.

Some key points from the survey:

• More than half (53 percent) of parents of teenagers admit that they have trouble helping their children with math and science homework.
• Nearly a quarter of parents (23 percent) who admit to being less involved in their child’s math and science education than they would like say their own lack of knowledge in these subjects is a key barrier.
• Another 26 percent of parents who are less involved than they would like wish there were a one-stop shop with materials to refresh their existing, but unused math and science knowledge so they can better help their kids.
