I've always encouraged my children to learn everything they can learn about everything that interests them. Give it your best and as long as you're happy with your best, than so am I. Uhm......that's what I tell them.....not you. Midlife Slicess last blog post..Why We’re Doing It Again

Well, I probably sound way lame and like a horrible mother, but after growing up in a country school where we had to teach ourselves chemistry? (true story) I'll happily put my kids into our public school here. My husband and I both came from small country schools and managed to do pretty well. I am interested to see how our kids do with so many more options and opportunities than we had. HeatherPrides last blog post..T-Rex Traumatization: A Parent's How-To Guide

My family's educational goals? That the little twerps at our high school pay some attention and graduate and behave themselves and don't burglarize my house. That is my educational goal for my school tax dollars: kids grow up NOT criminals. Not asking for much, am I? garys last blog post..le busy morning????

While we emphasize good grades, we don't do so to the point where they feel they're a failure if they get a less than stellar one. As long as they put forth their best effort, we are pleased. I guess the thing we try to impress on the kids is that you never stop learning - school is mostly about learning how to learn. That when you leave your years of formal education behind you, your education continues and there won't be a day that goes by when you aren't presented with the opportunity to learn something new. Recognize them and take advantage of them. Jans last blog post..The Chemist

Kind of makes you wonder what our education system is doing? I hope to give my children a love for knowledge by showing them how it can benefit them ( not just in a monetary way)! And then help them to develop skills to finding answers and knowledge for themselves! It is hard!! Amys last blog post..What Are You Wearing?
