If you are going to be an effective educator, those in charge speak of home visits.
hahahahahaha
I have been on home visits. I usually had the police with me.
The parents usually weren't real thrilled to have me there.
I usually wasn't too keen on it either.
BUT, THAT BEING SAID:
******************************************************
We need to have school systems where people know each other.
******************************************************
We need systems where the parents know and trust the teachers and the teachers know and trust the parents.
*****************************************************
It seems like lots of time is spent posturing on "Who is right?" instead of "What's right?"
*****************************************************
Hey, Mom! Hey, Dad! Don't go quoting what your four-year old tells you about what the teacher did....this same child tells us that he has magical powers and he can fly at night and that you sit around in your underwear and make beer ice cubes so your beer will stay cold without being watered down.
*****************************************************
There comes a time when we all need to move forward. Period.
*****************************************************
There's no magic potion that helps us learn. As Mary Michael and I enjoyed a weekend together, my sunshine, the light of my life, my princess.....did something inappropriate. Sprinkling my furniture with apple juice TWICE sent me straight from Nana to Principal.
"I'm cagey," she said.
"I'm mad," I said. "And you got your caginess from me. You're busted."
She learned that Nana will take the juice box away and that I'm smarter than the average bear.
*****************************************************
You can't have a city that moves forward without a school system that is moving forward. As consolidation comes to fruition, it is time, for ALL of us to move forward. God gives us some challenges, opportunities for growth, plain old problems, but he gives us a wonderful soul so that we can grow and change.
****************************************************
Proverbs 24:20 for the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
