Awwww Ray you parents who are working to provide for your families and can't attend meetings . . . that is understood. You have to work. I'm referring to those parents who are able to attend meetings . . ANY meetings like parent/teacher conferences, school info nights, school board meetings, PTO meetings, etc .... and don't go and then complain when something isn't going their way. There is a lot more to just dropping the lil' rugrat off in the morning and hoping the school takes care of them. Get to know the ins and outs of your school. Get to know the administration. Get to know what areas you can help out in. Heck - how many of you even know how much time your lil' one gets to eat? Are they supervised? Are they eating? Are they having choices as to what they can eat? WHAT are they eating?
