Whether you really like them or not, projects are frustrating. Me, I typically like them. I actually just finished one in science that was an egg drop project. You had to keep an egg from breaking when it was dropped. It was quite frustrating. So I decided to write about it.
Whether you are a straight A genius, or a student that probably won’t even make it into college, everybody has their breaking point. And whether it is having to write a report on your project, doing the project, or having to ask for help on it -- that’s mine

December 23rd, 2011 Posted by Ronald A. Rowe | Elementary, General Parenting, Learning
Sometimes, you try everything you can think of to inspire or educate your child and it still doesn't work. But sometimes -- not so often, but sometimes -- you stumble on something by accident that really gets the job done.
My ten-year-old son is a fearless public speaker. He'll get up in front of a crowd, any crowd, and speak. Or sing. Or play his trumpet. Or pretty much anything you ask him to do. He'll hop up on stage with precious little preparation, without the slightest sign of nerves.
So recently I set out to discover why, be it nature

A computer and USB port is required to load the books onto the Tag system. The books have to be set-up and loaded before you use the system. It does connect to the online program where your

Depending on your preschool, your child may someday take a field trip. For parents, there is definitely some apprehension. There is just so much to worry about. This is one of the few times that you have to completely trust the school to transport your child, watch them, and get them back safely.
The best way to alleviate your worry is to volunteer to go on the field trip with your child. Take the time off from work to go on the field trip. Usually, you will know far enough ahead of time to put in for the time off.

My older son recently came to me with some questions. He was confused by a news story he saw about Jaycee Dugard, the girl who was kidnapped when she was 11 and was finally freed at age 29.

His second question was how it could be possible for her to have children when she was not married.
His understanding was that you had to be married to have children,
