Wouldn't it be nice to finally get someone in there who had realistic views about what will help this kids NOW AND in LIFE?? Not every child is going to excel academically, no matter what the educrats in tiny offices want to believe.

Her father (her parents were divorced, something unheard of in the 30's) had remarried and had no interest in raising her. Her sister took her in and turned her into a nurse for her ailing nephew. Yet, my mother graduated high school and attempted college, although circumstances eventually forced her to quit. My father was one of 9 children- he left home to find a job when he was 16, because there was never enough food in the house. Yet, he graduated high school as well, and went on, without a college degree, to make a good life for us. When people say that we don't understand how terrible some kids have it, I look at what my parents managed to achieve, shake my head, and laugh.17 (really 15) more yearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136846071554141284noreply@blogger.com
