Alternative Education and the ADD - ADHD Child
A recent article in USA Today reports that home schooling has been on a steady rise for the last five years. There are now 1.5 million children being home schooled, up 74% since 1999. A desire for religious or moral instruction, formerly the number one reason to choose homeschooling, is now the second most popular reason. The first reason is safety and avoidance of peer pressure and exposure to drugs. Third is the dissatisfaction with academic instruction and fourth is interest in nontr

Empowering Readers
One of the questions that teachers and parents ask is how to help students transition the phonetic skills they are learning to their reading skills. The most important way to ensure a student's success with what they are reading is to model for them and teach them how to actively engage with the text. We want them to be part of what they read, to connect to it, to interact with it, and to come away understanding and the abili

Homeschooling: Why It's Important To Everyone
 President Obama is pushing for so-called national standards. I worry that if the Education Establishment has its way, we’ll have one type of government school--all mediocre, all overflowing with social engineering and indoctrination. I think everyone should resist Obama’s plans. States should have their separate standards; and every citizen should support as much diversity as possible. Support vouchers. Support charter schools. Support private schools. And support homeschooling.

Social Skill Problems - Why Your Child Has Social Skills Difficulties & What to Do About It
Social skills difficulties sneak up on most parents. Suddenly the child who had played alongside the other kids is now feeling isolated and unable to make friends.   This happens because of how quickly social interactions change once a child moves out of toddler-hood. While being able to take turns was once enough, now the child must be able to:   - Grasp the nuances of both verbal and non-verbal language. - Distinguish between literal and non-literal

I've Never Been Good at Reading
“I’ve never been good at reading.” “I can’t help my kids at all with their reading homework.  Reading was always my worst subject.” “Anything after middle school English, forget it – I’m terrible.” Have you ever heard a parent utter these statements?  Of course not, because to make a statement such as, “I’m not that good at reading,” is socially unacceptable among the averagely educated, involved parents of school aged children in our society.  Which

Summer Daily Brainwork
 From a child’s point of view, there are advantages and disadvantages to having a teacher as a parent. The time off over holidays and summer vacations certainly provides plenty of options for family activities. However, that additional time at home also means plenty of opportunities for learning an

How to Improve Simple Mental Computational Skills (Part 1)
In my previous article “Can We Improve Simple Mental Computational Skills?” I have described the results of my work on improving these skills with a class of the fifth grade. After the publication I began to get letters with one question – how can we do such a work? At this time I’ll try to detail my methods.

Help Your Child Get Organized For School!
Disorganization is the greatest complaint made by teachers and ranks as a very close second complaint from parents (rivaling fights and arguments over homework).  Every teacher can tell stories about bright and intelligent students who are failing classes because they lack the organizational skills to keep track of their assignments.  School counselors and psychologists talk about the huge caseloads of students that are referred to them for suspected learning disabilities, only to d
