Q: How can parents get involved in school life?

Q: What are Table People and Race People?

"Table" People are those who defer to others. Jesus is the perfect model. He always deferred to others, putting them first. "Race" People are those who are out to win, to be first, and to take care of "old number one." For race people, winning is usually at the cost of someone else. A race person is one who usually chooses a selfish response and takes care of him/herself first. What happens to the rest of the world is "their problem."
