it....
Okay first I want to say hello everyone I haven't had the time to keep up with this very fast moving board :)
Now

They aren't different. The difference is that some people are contributing but the parents are who are doing the actual raising. It's their project, if you will.
As far as the business is concerned, whatever your employees do, you are ultimately held responsible. I'm not thinking necessarily of glorious achievements here. Whatever they do is a worthwhile contribution but even if they aren't there, the ultimate responsibility is yours. They get credit for what they do but it's not the whole thing...as the business owner you get the overall credit. By the same token, if one of them screws something up, The burden ultimately lies on you for making sure it's fixed.
OR....
(I must be getting tired because I'm starting to really come up with some stuff here....)
Maybe parents are like the real Santa, the one who lives at the north pole, and the dcp, teacher, pastor, dr, neighbors, grandparents, etc are like the elves. The big guy gets credit for the whole gig but we all know that his little helpers do a hell of a lot of the work. ;-)
About the nasty there is another poster that was thinking is you...iam not acussing you of having a alter ego like many of you do here but it does get confusing expecially when your new and trying your darndest to keep up with everyone.
No worries iam pretty thick skinned and i dont get insulted or offened to easily...imo if someone is offended it is their problem for the most part...
no worries okay forget i said anything.
It depends on the parent's schedules. My neighbor goes to work at 6AM every morning. His children do not wake up until 7:30. He meets the bus at 3:30 every day. That is plenty of hours before bedtime. He also works at home twice a week- so the "see" him on those mornings. He works a full 40 hour workweek.
Full time...
7 hours 5 days a week imo for a child under 7 is a huge part of the day, my 6 year old is exahusted after her big day at school full time is 40 hours and too much for young children six and under a choice i would not make for my own infant, toddler preschooler even school aged children.
this is just a side note but children are pushed to hard they are expected to learn concepts that are way way about the norm. My first grader is learning conepts that third graders should be learning.
My 4th grader is way too advanced that is why he is now unschooled... I have more than one i unschool.
'My first grader is learning conepts that third graders should be learning.'
What concepts is your 1st grader learning that should be taught in 3rd grade? (I have a 2nd grader)
"My 4th grader is way too advanced that is why he is now unschooled"
I am confused by this- is it that you feel that your child is too advanced and therefore you are removing him from school to slow him down? Or that you think the curriculum is too advanced?
If it is the curriculum, again I would like to know what curriculum you think is too advanced? (I also have a 4th grader- but he is a little bored with the curriculum in his class and I would like to see him challenged a bit more).
