Kudos to your editorial writer who was kind enough to show appreciation for all that his kids’ coach does for them, but pleads for dismissing them on time.
I am asking this talented editor to take up some other exasperating causes:
– When our doctor gives us a specific appointment time like 11:20 a.m., we spend money on a taxi to be sure we arrive on time. Then we sit in his office for a half-hour.
– The repairman says he will be here between 8 and 11 a.m. Now it’s noon. Where is he?
– The pharmacist tell us we can pick up our prescription at noon. When we get there, he says, “We’ll start on it right now.”
Time is a fleeting thing. But its parameters affect our entire life. I agree with your editor that it is time to teach the need for punctuality.
