Parents "Great Responsibility" as Educational Support

Hi, I've been absent for the last couple of weeks and haven't had much of a chance to use my computer.

I've been watching my granddaughters full time for 2 weeks while their parents have been out of town. Their dad; for work. And their mom back to Indianapolis to take care of my son after his achilles tendon surgery. Both are coming home today! But, it has been fun to be in the throw of life for a Kin. and 1st grader. See what homework they have and help them. I can't remember those days with my 5 kids. It brings renewed respect for all you parents with the great responsibility of moving along your child's education!

When I say "great responsibility," I mean that as in both meanings of the word great. "Great," as in Wonderful!! And, also "great" as in large, huge!!

It's important to know and understand the weight of and address both. Being able to shape and assist in your child's educational future and watching them progress and grow in knowledge is an amazing experience! Also, you must realize that you DO have a very huge, or great part in making your child's many days and years in school be a successful experience for him/her. The fact that you are reading this right now tells me that you are one of those parents who DOES know you are a vital part of the team for educational success for your child.
