Warren County Public Schools will open their doors for the new school year on Tuesday. Their work is not easy. The hours are long and the pay isn't great. But for many, it's the only way of life they could ever consider.
Parents greet the school year with a wide mix of emotions.
Even relief and pure pleasure, knowing that summer day care struggles are over and that the kids will be doing something more constructive than watching six hours of the Jenny Jones Show. For by the example they set in the classroom, they instill values that help turn a child into a productive, caring world citizen. But teachers are not baby-sitters. Although they often have an open ear for students, they aren't counselors, and shouldn't be expected to sole those problems. They aren't disciplinarians.
