They are really focused on a partnership between parents and teachers, which is essential in a child’s education. Some people think that education is the school’s responsibility, and they do not have to do anything except ensure that their children finish their homework. Maybe it’s because my son is a kinesthetic learner, or maybe because I remember how hard it was for me at school, as a kinesthetic learner, I am very active in their education. I volunteer in their classes; I am constantly teaching them things outside of school; and I keep the television off during the week.
Additionally, their PTA is very active. There are some cons to this, but the pros outweigh them tremendously. The PTA offers tons of after-school activities, such as foreign languages and sports. They also have tons of family events that challenge children’s minds.
The school pyramid is one of the main reasons that I decided to live in the area that I am. It’s one of the best in the DC area, and I am happy that my kids are able to be in great schools.
Some 1,500 Afghani girls stayed home from school on Thursday, one day after a vicious acid attack on eight of their fellow students. This is a horrible act by some atrocious people who should be tortured for doing this to innocent girls. If you watch the video, you can sense the pain this girl is feeling. On top of that, her sister and her will be scarred for life, emotionally and physically. It’s horrific people would do this just cause these girls want to go to school and get an education.
After going grocery shopping, Cebastian, who doesn’t have school for two days due to parent/teacher conferences, and I went to his teacher conference. She said he is excelling at school, and that his behavior is getting better. I was pleasantly surprised. He was waiting outside the classroom for me. He asked me how he was doing?
I said, “Cebastian, you are doing amazing in school, and Ms. Seidel says you are doing better with your behavior.”
His response? “Mom? Don’t you feel sorry that you doubted me.”
I started laughing, and I said, “Sorry Cebastian, I shouldn’t have doubted you.”
