I think it's important to be involved, listen to your kids, and trust your instincts. That said, it's easy to go overboard with concerns (guilty as charged). It may be bullies, educational rigor, overcrowding, but there is always something to be concerned about. The thing is, that stuff has been around since we were kids going to school.Carolinahttp://www.kidsgowest.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813413510898361738.post-4991752018937034112011-01-14T09:25:52.266-08:002011-01-14T09:25:52.266-08:00Hi Debi & Tiffany, good to hear from you. Yes,...Hi Debi & Tiffany, good to hear from you. Yes, I will follow up with insights if any come my way. For now, I think that as the kids get older, they will tell us what they need. My role is to support them, but not to burden the family with unfounded concerns. I think bottom line is that the classroom affords an opportunity for kids to enjoy learning. If so, things aren't so bad. If not, that's when you need to dig deeper. One thing you can be sure, next week my opinion will change!

It just seems to create different problems.<br /><br />When you get this all figured out, could you let me know? :)<br /><br />Love the pictures of the girls, by the way.Tiffany Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593440424514634781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813413510898361738.post-30174452871267800522011-01-12T08:57:26.430-08:002011-01-12T08:57:26.430-08:00For what it's worth, I'm coping with the s...For what it's worth, I'm coping with the same exact issue myself at the moment.
