From Me to You

Imagine… Taking your most precious gift to a stranger's house and leaving it there for 8 hours. Do you expect the stranger to return the gift in better condition than you left it? What about your car… If you dropped your car off to a mechanic, how long would you wait before you called to check on it? What if you do not understand what the mechanic is saying? What if you are not satisfied with the work? What if the mechanic failed to improve the car’s performance? What would you do? Now instead of a mechanic and your car, consider a SCHOOL and your CHILD! Do you pay closer attention to the handling of your car than to the handling of your child? Think about it!
