Parents teach in the toughest school in the world – the school for making people.
You are the board of education, the principal, the classroom teacher and the janitor. You are expected to be experts on all subjects pertaining to life and living.
There are few schools to train you for your job, and there is no general agreement on the curriculum. You have to make it up yourself.
Your school has no holidays, no vacations, no unions, no automatic promotions or pay rises. You are on duty or at least on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for at least 18 years of each child you have.
Besides that, you have to contend with an administration that often has two leaders or bosses, whichever the case may be – and you know the traps two bosses can get into with each other.
Within this context you carry on your people making. I regard this as the hardest, most complicated, anxiety ridden; sweat and blood producing job in the world.

To assist you in your 'school' we thought it would be a great idea to add a 'Fun at Home' page for parents both using the service and those thinking of using it.
We have compiled a number of pages for you under the following headings:
We hope you come back and check these regularly as we update them every couple of weeks. If you see a recipe or idea you like and didn't have time to download it before the page was changed simply contact us for another copy.
HAVE FUN
