However, we must do a better job at educating our children or else we will have to change our strategies. Because if we continue to do the same thing and expect to get a different result then we our fooling ourselves and our children will not be able to compete with others their age who are preparing for life. <br /><br />This is not an absurd hope that our children's school will be assisting in the development of our kids while they are in their most critical learning years. And by assisting, this implies that we as parents our doing our part of the equation. This is actually where Alderman Lyle can help reeducate constituents who don't do their part in the development of their God given children.<br /><br />We decry our fallen educational system too often while we in our homes aren't educating. This will mean putting down the remote, logging off the computer, & putting down the paper while we help our kids with homework and other issues that all children face. Or else we shouldn't be shocked when they gravitate or look outside the home for their education which is far too often on the street.<br /><br />I apologize for getting up on my soap box, but this is a problem not only in the 6th ward. As my father would instruct me when I baulked at doing the hard things in life, we need to put on our big boy pants and take responsibility where it squarely lies, on our shoulders.pugahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729933352994407490noreply@blogger.com
