Good News?

For the love of Joseph and all the saints....

Cole brought home a flyer yesterday, from school. Public school. It was advertising the "Good News Club", sponsored by Child Evangelism Fellowship, which is held after school, once a week, for a month.

Let me tell you why this burns my britches. Last year, when I requested that Cole be tested for giftedness, I was treated as if I were an alien from Uranus who was requesting a platter of kidneys from healthy teenaged girls. I had to push and push and push to get them to agree to test Cole. And all the while they tested him, they kept telling me how, even if he tested as gifted, there was NOTHING THEY COULD DO for him.

And yet they'll host a Good News Club??? Certainly that is more controversial than a gifted program for kindergartners....

Who knew that there would come a day when asking for your public school to teach your child about Jesus would get you more results than asking for your public school to give your child more advanced academic work...

I've got the Good News covered. Please spend your time figuring out how to teach actual academics to my son.
