PARENTS
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 raises.
You are "ON DUTY" or at least "ON CALL" 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for at least 18 years for every child you have.
Within this context, you carry on your people making.
I regard this as the hardest, most complicated, anxiety-ridden, blood and sweat producing job in the world
