Do You Have Consequences at Home for School Behavior?

My son is having a rough time in kindergarten and I'm really disappointed in his behavior.

Kumon Learning Centers

Hi all, I am thinking of enrolling my daughter in the Kumon Learning Center (much like Sylvan). She is having a difficult time in reading and math this year.

What to Give a Retiring Kindergarten Teacher?

Hi there, My daughter is in Kindergarten with a great teacher and I am the classroom parent. All year, it's been pulling teeth to get parents to contribute towards the holiday gift which I managed to give a $100 gift certificate, by some miracle, then Teacher Appreciation day, few gave towards some things (flowers and goodies) I bought for the teacher. Now, it's the end of the year, and it's been a wonderful year with a great teacher AND she's retiring. My mother, who retired several years ago after teaching 40 years said, the teacher will...
