Charlie And The Playground Part 2

Well, my wife and I met with Charlie’s teacher and the head of his nursery school a few days ago. It was good to see that they had their hearts in the right place and my perspective has changed a bit since then. After talking to the folks running Charlie’s school I have a better…
