I agree...I would add that a leader needs to acknowledge and compliment the efforts and successes of their team... motivation deflates when honest efforts are never acknowledged after all...why try if when you succeed you'll not get the credit...but the leader will???

to those who use the public school as a babysitter I am sure this sounds good. I am angered at the idea of starting school so early. Kids do have educational and fun experiences over summer break. It is not time wasted. Just because a kid is out of school does not mean he or she isn't learning anything. Good parenting is not to be replaced by the school...the assumption that an earlier start is a good idea is simply erroneous at best.
