Free education

We were very strict with the children, we liked them, if there was any mistake about the education, the children should have said it themselves. “

It will probably be an obstacle, maybe she has already given up, but I just don’t want to lose a child. That child would have been more or less. less lost “, Michele has closed this topic.
