He sounds like a good Dad. Too bad he can’t see how this cheapens him and everyone else.
Sad.
When I was young and my kids were in school, I walked them to and from school until they were in the seventh grad. I attended every partent teacher meeting, every play, every student event and every fundraiser. I paid for their tuition out of my own pocket, except for part of one year when I needed a little help. I wouldn’t put them in public school because their classmates needed to learn English and I didn’t want my kids sitting there half the day reading.
My kids went to the pediatrician from day one. They were encoraged to study and given a hard time if they didn’t. They ate well, brushed their teeth and took their oral vitamins.
I’m thinking I could have done pretty well if someone would have paid me to do everything I was supposed to do as a dad. Stupid me, I thought it was my duty as a parent.
If someone would have offered to pay me, I’d have told them to stuff it where the sun don’t shine.
I think that this sentence really captures the truth about this program.
Very well stated.
