Elections and Education

Finally, the election’s over. It’ll be interesting to see what changes occur with education policy now that the Dems are in charge.

As you know, I’m not a fan of “No Child Left Behind.” Take a look at “No Child Left” for a good overview of what’s wrong with this policy.

On the other hand, I’m certainly a fan doing what we can to assure that all kids learn to read and have every chance of succeeding in school.

Enough of my soap box. This isn’t a partisan blog. It’s about kids.

And speaking of kids, Eric and I are off to Ohio today to play with some of the grandkids and celebrate some birthdays.

So I’ll be out of the blogosphere for a few days. While I’m gone do some Brain Gym. Read a story to your favorite kid.

And take time to check out the “Brain Boosters for Your Kids” e-book series. You’ll get bunches of tips and strategies for school success.
