Did You Know?

**Does anybody know how to get those automatic links off of here? I have noticed it on other people's blogs as well. I do not want those!!


Last week was our annual Teacher Convention in Kansas City. Some years are fantastic and some just okay, but I always manage to walk away with something new. We had a great time in KC, and this year I gleaned the following important information.

• On the average, fathers only spend 4 minutes per day with their children. Really? Four minutes? In that case, my husband gets a gold star for fatherhood.
• Rules without relationship will result in rebellion. Amen to that one.
• You never can be too careful. Make sure all your i's are dotted and t's are crossed, and never assume something "won't matter." I heard about a family who sued their school asking for five years of tuition to be returned to them simply because their son did not get into the college he desired. Then there was the family who created a website called "Destroy ________ Christian School" because they did not feel the school was meeting its accreditation standards. Wow. Something tells me those things don't fit under "What Would Jesus Do."
• Males cannot be trusted. Okay, that may be a bit of an over-generalization, but when it comes right down to it, guys are just as bad at keeping secrets as girls. Nevermind the fact that we girls were the ones who........ummmm....."decorated" their hotel room.
• Even after twelve years of significant changes, I still work with some of the best colleagues ever!
