Kids are rejoicing and counting the days until summer break and while some parents are not looking forward to summer break I am rejoicing just as much as my kids.

It can be difficult keeping a student focused at school so we may need to do everything possible to keep them focused for the sake of their education.We might even need to mandate the clothing that can be worn in a school so it's not distracting. Last week, a middle school in California BANNED girls from wearing tight pants

Spring break is here and if you and your family weren't able to go out of town this year you are not alone. A lot of families stayed home due to work schedules or to save a little money.

My youngest son is turning 3 this summer which means he may be ready for pre-school. My older son was not ready for school when he was 3 so I am really on the fence about sending my youngest to school. Part of me wonders if pre-school at the age of 3 is even beneficial.
