What if Bob Stoops or Mike Gundy said it? How impressed would you be?
So, it's a bit surprising that so often many of us take that approach when it comes to our kids' future. Specifically, to our kids' education.
I don't buy it.
As a Kumon Instructor, with so many of my students ahead of their peers by their own efforts, I say: "Caught up is Lame". Being ahead is always better in sports. So why not in academics?
As parents and as Americans, we can do so much more. In this country we are incredibly blessed with opportunity.
Yet, most of the time in our society, the potential of children to achieve is grossly underestimated.
I encourage all of us not to "WAIT AND SEE" if our kids turn out to be good in school.
All evidence shows that whether they turn out to be excellent students is mostly up to us.
Let's commit to building a "Path of Excellence" for all of our children, regardless of their ability. All children have the potential to exceed expectations. And let's begin NOW.
Joyce Meyer once said: "We don't grow when things are easy; we grow when we face challenges."
Can our children have an amazingly fun summer AND also grow intellectually?
I challenge you to believe it is possible...
Sincerely,
Mauricio Maruri
