Failing School Systems

What do you do when your child gets lost in the public school system? The first thing that administrators and teachers point out is the possibility of a learning disability. You are the only one that knows your child and their intelligence potential. My child just started this school year in the Mississippi Public School system. Might I add that I was far from happy. She was falling in the cracks and the teachers were letting her fall. Failing is not an option, especially when it comes to education. I was practically home schooling her at home after she got home from the public school. I'm talking about learning workbooks and homeschooling online. I wrote a very stearn letter to the principal with my complaint. It was obvious that the teacher at the time, her methods were not working. The letter obtained a request to change classrooms, to a different teacher, with a different method. It was the best thing I ever did for my child. It has been 2 weeks since the change as she has raised her grades by a minimum of 10 points, no longer failing, and no longer in fear that she will have to repeat the first grade. If the school system is not fighting for our children, then the only that are left is us as parents.  

Why do you think that we focus so much on women at weddings? Is it the dress? What kind of love do you wish for the men in your life?

The wedding should be focused on both the bride and groom. I think that when the word wedding comes up some women automatically think princess for a day. It is not fair to the groom as he too is getting married. I don't have a son, but I have a younger brother that I helped raise. I talk to him without any unbiased feelings, the same way I would talk to my daughters were they his age. The dating scene is tough, not only for the women but also for the few good men out there. This includes my brother. He is a good man and I tell him all the time to be careful with the women he dates. Not all are truthful, sincere, or with the best intentions. When the right one comes around he will now. She will be the one that will make an effort to be a part of the family and not isolate him from them. This meaning that family is the most important thing. When the right one one comes around we will accept her. When he falls in love, the love of that woman should motivate him to be the best person out there. I wish him a love of a woman that will accept him for who he is and not try to change him into something he is not.
