It was Thomas Jefferson who said :-
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people ..........they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty"

ReplyDeleteFar too much of our education system is suffering from lack of discipline and poor teaching methods rather than a lack of money.I believe the majority of parents know this even if you don't.
