Modeling career!!

YOU are a model ! and you! and you! we are all models and when I think of what our children see  and hear us model, it helps clear up the questions about what's wrong with education.  On the radio the other day(the most recent event of it's kind), a speaker said, in part, "...them are..." . Simple grammar and language skills are often ignored - both in the teaching and in the learning -
          I think we've become lazy in our expectations - not only in grammar and language, but also in our expectations of correct and accurate information, among so many things. (Lack of good manners is a huge pet pieve for me! just fyi:-)
       In, and of, themselves, none of these behaviors is tragic.  However, I believe they are signs and symptoms of a much bigger problem.  If our children are surrounded by low expectations, and inferior performance of communication, responsibility, work ethic, fun, growth, and much more, then how can we hope that they will want to learn, achieve and grow to their fullest ability?
      And if we choose to surround our children with inappropriate models, we are failing our responsibility to do the job of parenting.

That's it for now.
