So your kids are back in school, which is great for you, considering you now have some peace and quiet around the house. You've bought them new pens and notebooks, and sent them on their way. Here's hoping that this year is a great one!
You're sure your kids will excel in school this year, and the best way to make sure that'll happen is by attending Parent-Teacher Night. Unfortunately, this is extremely boring. Lucky for you we've come up with a list of 10 ways to make Parent-Teacher Night more interesting:
When 15-year-old Taylor Santos, a sophomore at Springtown High School in Texas was called in to be disciplined for allegedly letting another student copy her work, she was punished by having a two-day suspension. In a bizarre request, after the first day, Taylor asked if she could be paddled instead of missing another day of school. The teen called her mother, who also approved the request.
Imagine your 5-year-old is dressed and ready for school in his favorite team shirt. Only to find out when he arrives at school that his favorite shirt is not allowed due to school dress codes. Now a grown-up asks your child to turn the shirt inside out so the logo doesn’t show – what do you do?
Although it varies from state to state, the average salary of a public school teacher in the United States is about $50,000 a year. For comparison sake, the average full-time worker in any profession has a median personal income of about $39,000 a year. Are teachers getting the better end of the stick?
Parents upset about the education their children are receiving at the Notre-Dame de Caderot school in southern France didn’t merely hold meetings or complain to the school board.
Instead, they stormed the building and took several teachers and the school headmistress hostage.
Can you think back on one person outside your family that stands out on how much you were influenced growing up?

We've got ten good reason schools shouldn’t be cutting arts budgets: these great songs about their hallowed halls. After all, if they eliminated music classes, who’s gonna write songs about how cool school is?

Today is Wednesday. To most people it is mid week or "Hump-Day." But for my house, this is "Back To School Eve!" And I have just finished the marathon of all marathon's. Yes the draining of my wallet and gas tank doing the back to school shopping.
Yes, it is almost back to school time and I think most parents are happy to have the kids back in school and most kids are excited to get back to their classmates and friends.
How many of our local public school teachers would like for the answering machine to sound like this?
