>>>Anyway...my point is that IMO it's good for parents to be concerned, but it's also very important that they understand what it is they are looking at when they are looking at these scores.  Most parents I know don't.  <<<<     You are absolutely right and I agree with you. I do think many parents are expressing a...

Terry,   Our church has grown phenomenally over the past 10 years or so.  Some of that growth came because we had relocated, built a new building, and people were curious about it so they stopped in.  But the vast majority of the growth came from personal invitation by members of the congregation.  As you noted (sort of!), people look for a connection.  We've also done some community-based...

Thanks...can't wait to see who shows up because I blasted them over several things in an email!

Oh, Susan, you're right.  She's not doing it independently at all.  She can't...which is why the sp.ed. testing.  She looses focus because she doesn't know how to do the work and can't succeed.  It's a vicious circle!  Mary Ellen exhausted, proud, single mom (or is that chauffer) to Sara - my beautiful 15 yr. old cheerleader and singer Maggie - my...
