Ep 1:17 - Meet the Teacher Night - Drivetime Diaries

What this episode covers

Meet the Teacher Night (and conferences) can be a time of anxiety for parents - there's a lot at stake if your child gets a good or not so good experience! But what if...YOU were the teacher? Tonight I'm reflecting again on the power and impact of educational choice and working out an educational plan for your kid that utilizes the community resources of our public schools without feeling like it's your only option. YOU can do it, and no one can be as deeply invested in your child's education and needs than YOU. We do important work, and we do it well. I love everything about my job, but more than that, I love to see kids thriving in environments that are the very best suited for them.
