"I have one comment to make about this article, and I am not trying to knock any women. However there is many Fathers that's involved in their children's school or education. I believe that Fathers shouldn't be lefted out when credit is due. Myself I can speak up for the many Fathers, due to the fact that I am a single Father, and now that my children is grow they have kids (my grandkids). I am involved in the School District here in my city, and I always say at school meetings all kids is my concern when it comes to their education and well-being. Thanks for reading this thought, and keep us alert on everything."
