How many times have you heard that parenting is the hardest job? Also the most rewarding, but certainly difficult, time consuming, fulfilling and joyous. Parenting is the only job in which the goal of the job is to make yourself obsolete.
Imagine yourself a parent in a place where the educational system is so overcrowded that in the public school system your child only goes to school for a few hours a day to allow other children to be “educated” in later shifts. There are no playgrounds, and at a brief recess the children play on concrete or dirt with the very few toys they have.The schools are surrounded by high, cinder block fences with large rolling gates and concertina wire on top of all the walls. Electricity is sometimes on, other times not. There are few supplies, books, libraries, extra-curricular activities, or enrichment programs. Sounds pretty hopeless, doesn’t it?
