Be cautious when eliminating programs. Regardless of technological advances, a well rounded education with a very diverse curriculum is essential to the total development of these children. Look at basics: recycling; dry erase boards; energy efficient lighting and electrical equipment; parent and community volunteers; lease rather than purchase equipment; solicit gift card contributions from neighborhood businesses that have an inventory of items useful in the school; and above all, BELIEVE!

Remember that education is a team project - you, the child and the teacher all collaborating, due to technological advances young folk need to know how to understand a wider scope of information than you - when we were young we looked at materials in depth, the world does not work like that today, you must support and consolidate the work done in schools. embrace the learning process and realise that it is a lifelong experience - p.s. invite me in to solve the problem - Jimmy (Scotland)
