Since we are focusing much of the content of our newsletter this month on “gratitude”, I must take this opportunity to say how very grateful we are for parents who work hard to bring quality education to their children. For many, you have found yourselves in an unexpected situation: educational director for your children. This may mean you are keeping an extra close eye on and supplementing your children’s public school education; for others this means making many sacrifices to provide a private education for your children; for others it means taking on the role of primary educator for your children. We desire to partner with all of you, regardless of your situation. We understand that each scenario requires a great deal of hard work and sacrifice from you. At The Write Journey, we value your sacrifice and your hard work, and we hope to find more ways to help equip you to fulfil your role as educational director for your children.
This desire for close partnership, which results in equipping and empowering parents, is one of the primary goals of our Adult Training Program. WE want to help YOU to do the best job possible as you teach writing and communication skills to your children. We have spent more than fifteen years creating language arts classes, with a focus on writing, for your children. Now we have a vision to train you, the adults, to teach these writing methods to your own children and the children in your co-ops and communities. As our pilot group continues learning our writing methods, we look forward to a new group of eager adult learners to join us in January when we will begin a new ATP (Adult Training Program) Foundations class. Contact our home office if you would like more information about this opportunity. (916-696-1759 or info@thewritejourney.net)
While the job of educating your children well may feel overwhelming and even oppressive at times, you are not alone. At The Write Journey, we have experienced both the burdens and the blessings of parenting with a goal of bringing the best educational experience to our children. We are grateful for the freedoms we still have to take an active role in our children’s education. We thank you for doing the hard thing . . . the right thing. We honor you, and we stand beside you.
