Thank you for the friendship invite... when I changed my profile over to Jeni Fa instead of using the Jen Fad profile... all the prior friends were lost. My apologies!

Did I mention my 10 year old has been in French since entering first grade? That was one of the fights... the school said he was inappropriate and should be in English. The studies that I read said that kids with my son's problem can learn a second language if the appropriate resources are available. They had little available in French.

I thank you for your dedication and service to young people. I generally work with adults, but my 80 yeat old mother is currently putting together a Rites of Passage program for your girls, which I am help her write. Much of what I do wouldn't be necessary if people had learned better skills and discipline when they are younger. Our program is about values, responsibility, and community service. God bless you!
