I love your comment, Timothy. If I understand you correctly, your intention is that we (parents) are our children's teachers...and that, I have observed, is usually enough to counteract whatever 'oddness' their teachers at school are telling them or modeling for them. Thank you so much. Warm wishes, Gershon

Hi Gershon, What good questionku. This question has popped in mind on occasion. I rarely watch the news. I had know idea there's a strike in Chicago. I hope they come to an agreement and it ends soon:-) Alexis

Thanks for commenting on the question in this questionku, my friend. I hope the strike ends soon too, but I'm not holding my breath. It's more of a power struggle than anything else, very unfortunately. Smiles, Gershon
