But a failure to deliver comprehensibly grieves me. And of course, we expect the press to be more skillful. Whether we blame an over abundance of media, lack of parental engagement, or school failure, we really should try to reclaim some competence. <br /><br />But if a kid feels they have better things to do, rightly or wrongly, they will do that rather than improve themselves. How to convince them otherwise escapes me. <br />olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.com
