Because I like you and I think we see eye to eye on a lot of things I thought I would drop in a few helpful hints on how to make this school year a great year for you and your kids.
Shopping online can incredibly convenient, but should you do it for basic school supplies? That depends on what’s more important to you: time or money.
The two-and-a-half-month summer vacation that kids get was a mid-19th century compromise between rural school districts, which had children who needed to help out on the family farm, and urban districts, which often dealt with extreme heat in the summer.
The new school year begins soon, and with that comes back-to-school shopping. And since many parents are feeling the crunch of the economic downturn, that means lots of them are talking to their kids about something they often haven’t before: money.
I guess it's because of my position as a semi-professional child that I still dread the smell of a freshly waxed gym floor and the sound of teacher shoes echoing through a locker lined hallway.
