The education of my child has been by FAR the hardest part of parenting. Why didn't anyone tell us? Or were things just different when we were growing up? I don't know, but I'll tell you all of my friends are feeling the same way. It's crazy.

What a wonderful giveaway!!! Thanks so much!

School and life.
so far my son's elementary school experience has been challenging for me...not so much for him, but extremely so for me. nothing has challenged my feelings of inadequacy as a parent more than the school experience. sheesh...who would have thunk it? Anywho, this video is an interesting take on our current school system and it's future. I can't say I disagree with him.......
