While it is appalling that our voices seem to be falling on the deaf ears of our elected “leaders (?),” it is equally appalling that our country’s business and industry “titans” cannot manage their companies properly in good times so they will not have to run to the American taxpayer for money undo their personal greed and atrocious mis-management in bad times. ...And, you are right that it can be a battle to get children refocused on school and back on a schedule in January after parents have allowed them for two (in some cases three) weeks to do totally mindless activities during the holiday break. ]]>Good or Bad?info@hfhw.netAll Levels2008-12-23T12:00:00-06:00http://www.hfhw.net/Articles/Articles08/files/069865022c9a959a1af0726021d8712f-111.html#unique-entry-id-111http://www.hfhw.net/Articles/Articles08/files/069865022c9a959a1af0726021d8712f-111.html#unique-entry-id-111 ...Today, these schools are so focused on test results that force all students to answer a question with the same answer that they don’t have time to correct all the wrong behaviors and bad habits that are being imposed on your child by classmates whose parents have not taken the opportunity to teach their children ethics and morals, good manners and behaviors, and caring for others. ...Make sure you are teaching the most important ethic to your children, that we should care for each other, each and every day of the year, and not just at the holidays. ...
