It Takes a Team

In our slogan driven society I guess it was inevitable for the Team Concept of raising a child would gain ground.

When I was working at school we often used the concept to tell parents we were on their side, that we should work as a team for the sake of child. This was especially the mantra of the SPED Team.

The last two years of my job I began to hear parents invoke the " Team (insert child's name here)" theory. One couple came dressed in Team ______- T's.

The Team approach is alive and well as on a New York sports radio program one of the hosts refers to the team that he has assembled to raise his son.

Don't know if a team or a couple are the best way to raise children, but please lose the T-shirts!
