I figured that he had broken his arm by the way he had fallen and how he was holding it. I'm sure I only did what any other parent would have done for a child in that situation, but thanks for your kind comments! Lea,

He was so scared and in pain and I cannot thank you enough for caring about him. His name is Logan Faulkner and he is getting his cast today (October 15, 2007). He wants a red one this time because you see this is the second time that he has broken the same arm. Again thank you very much for taking care of my son. Lea Faulkner Jeff

I was a little unnerved while viewing all the educational posters in Sam's classroom. I am most definitely NOT smarter than a 5th grader! It was fun to view all the colorful, highly interactive room environments all day. I got to brush up on my grammar, beginning algebra, history, and English. Homeschooling, Jill? I highly support any parent who chooses to get that actively involved in their children's education. I think it's great when done <i>proactively.</i> When folks, however, choose to homeschool or send kids to private schools from a <i>reactionary</i> or isolationist viewpoint, I think they need to give the public school system another, objective view. In the long run, make the decision based on well-thought-out, family-centered objectives and enjoy your participation in your child's education.

K so first I'm going to poke some fun.... 1. Did you learn anything while sitting in class??? 2. Did you do your homework? (no blaming it on the squirel either). Okay so now the serious stuff. This is why I want to move to Monticello. So much more parent involvement programs. I am so proud of you. I think there are alot of dads who bear the responsibilities of a job, but would like to be involved. But it's also just natural for the mother to step up (without a thought otherwise) and do the "school stuff". But I know it was always so SPECIAL when it was "bring your dad/grandpa" to school day. It was something out of the ordinary. Plus you always feel safer with DAD!! Awww Jeff!!! K so first I’m going to poke some fun….

Don't children make you feel special!!! I miss all those hugs. I'm so impressed and excited to hear of the Watch DOGS Program. Based on my 39 years in education, it's by and large the moms who are most involved in their children's school lives, and I believe that children desperately need their dads to be just as involved.
