Is Homework making your child sick? - 1 views

  •  
    Interesting read. I know some parents even at the elementary level that would agree with this as they feel any homework is too much. However, I feel that all school aged children should have some homework as to reinforce skills and then the parents can see what they are doing in school. I remember the days of having sooo much homework in high school, that I would feel sick. I also remember having arguments with my mother that I needed to go to school and she would say, but you can't because you are sick. Having to make up all of that work as well as keep up with everything was daunting. I see this in high school students now...many hours of homework. Not sure how to fix this Race to No Where.

    Interesting read on how Kindergarten is the new first grade. I know that in my 18 years teaching that I have seen this shift. Things that I used in my first grade classroom are now being used in Kindergarten.

Print books choice over e-books for young people - 2 views

  •  
    I like to hold and read a book, but I do read a lot on my nook. I much prefer the nook to the iPad because of size and weight. It was interesting to read this article and see how the younger generation prefers a book in hand considering how many carry iPhones, etc. and are constantly logged in.

    Interesting article on a study about inclusion. Amazing to read how much it helps those with disabilities as well as their regular education peers in their studies as well as socially. I wish there were more opportunities for co-teaching and full inclusion.
