@connections I think your post is great and really important for people to remember. There isn’t a right way to go about any of this. Each person’s school has different resources. Same with their community. Same with the parents’ money and time. If I had been a single parent (but I wasn’t) or had more than two kids (but I didn’t), there is no way my kids would have been able to do everything they did outside the school day. Even so, I believe they would have turned out the same as they are now. Plus, I gotta say how much I admire you being a single parent of five kids who turned out well.
