Something "Street Positive" To Think About
Is Your Child Being Educated or Taught To Fail? How well do you know the intellectual capacity of your child(ren)? Do you rely soley on the school system to educate your child? Or, have you created an effective partnership? How far long are you with your child's economically sustainable family "success" plan? Are you meeting with those who are educating your child(ren). Or, is your child being taught to fail? Don't just go back to school, it's time to get down to business! Make that change!
