Money isn't everything, but it sure helps. part 1

O.K. so let's take a look at some of the comments about education that I have received so far. First as always, "thank you" to the people I have heard from so far and to everyone else, please jump in and let your voices be heard. Everyone has so much that they can add to the discussion. Your voice is important. Money is NOT the panacea, however try to do anything without it. As we look at education it is imperative that we support the teachers and students with the resources that are necessary to learn. We need modern, safe, comfortable and technologically up to date classrooms and media centers. We need to give our children access to every facet of education that we can, to develop well-rounded citizens of tomorrow. Money buys this portion. Another ingredient is the parent involvement. do we all have to go the way of 'TigerMom"' I don't believe this is the extreme to go to. Children have a right to be kids and have time to just play. I believe that we stunt their growth socially if we take away time to play and learn social skills with other children When they become adults, and are charged with working together as a group, there could be issues for them because they are uncertain, how to get along with each other and pursue common goals for a company.
