Interesting statements. I deserve a lot of things! I have a friend who tells her children, she deserves “one carat diamond earrings and a vacation in Bermuda”. We don’t always get what we deserve, do we? My children deserve a fantastic education. What my children do NOT deserve is a teacher who is over-worked and underpaid, a class full of kids with multiple challenges and a cookie cutter, one-size–fits-all education that does not meet their needs. No more square pegs in round holes — thank you very much! Calvert provides me with a first class education my kids deserve. My kids deserve to have ALL of their educational options wide open to them at their high school and college years because they were, and are, phenomenally well-prepared by their Calvert experiences.
