Education Takes a Back Seat
October 3, 2018
Hey FC Parents & Kids,
Found this article in the morning paper today. A very sobering reality that should not surprise us, but that we need to just understand. In many ways, this mirrors what’s happening to our doctors and police officers.
I’m limited in what I can do at our schools, but not at FightClub! My main focus is your child’s growth and development – Period.
As parents, we need to be aware of and understand the changing educational environment our kids are facing. Far too many parents focus on certain sports, clubs or activities. All those should be secondary to getting your kids in front of a true teacher! This is more important than the sport, club or activity. Finding true teachers is very hard, personally, I have found only two in my lifetime. When I walk into FightClub I truly want to share myself with everyone. I’m sure many of you have noticed this and I thank you for being a part of this special place.
Please share this article with other parents so that we all understand what we are facing as our fast pace society rushes forward.

Education takes back seat for principals overwhelmed by managing schools
Ontario principals do so much administrative work, such as managing the school building and staff, it is a “challenge” to find time to improve student learning, according to a report released Wednesday.
The findings are based on a survey of 1,244 principals from publicly-funded schools by research and advocacy group people for education. Among the more “startling” figures, says executive director Annie Kidder, was when principals ranked the amount of time spent on various tasks, including managing facilities, staff and individual student issues.
