Education opens up the mind of a child exploring, learning, and comprehending critical thinking, creativity, and knowledge.

Parents have a responsibility to engage in quality time with their children, but often don't know exactly what's happening during the school hours.  This isn't due to the teaching staff, but rather what the individual school and entire district offers.
