Migraines: They Are Not Just For Adults Anymoreby Eric Steinman Stupid question: Do children still fake illnesses in an effort to get attention or, more likely, to get out of having to do something they dislike. Of course they must. The practice (or art, should I say?) is as timeless as whining, or trying to stick beans up your nose. I had a [...] 09.6.10 | Education, Education Community Association (Teachers, Professors & Educators), Health | Olga Christie 
How to Get Kids to School On Timeby: Ann Bibby With the school year still fresh, exciting and vaguely interesting, most parents haven’t yet grappled with the frustrating issue of getting kids up, dressed, fed and out the door on time. But it’s coming, and preparation is half the battle when it comes to establishing good habits in children, and lowering parental stress [...] 09.6.10 | EQ, Education, Education Community Association (Teachers, Professors & Educators), Pendidikan Dasar | Leta Haynes 
Grading Teachers Jumps To Prime Timeby: Judy Molland Whether public school teachers like it or not, the “value added” method of grading them is becoming a reality.

Science for Girlsby Barbara J. Feldman In the thirty-five years since I was one of just a handful of women getting a computer science degree, you’d think the word would be out about what a great choice science is for both girls and boys.

Paying Kids and Parents to Meet School Goalsby: Ann Bibby Every parent knows bribery is the motivator of last resort where children are concerned. And schools used similar forms of motivation for decades, but is there merit to the practice? Could monetary incentive be a key player in education reform? 09.2.10 | EQ, Education, Education Community Association (Teachers, Professors & Educators) | Randolph Holbrook 
Fruits and Veggies Matter!by Ann Pietrangelo The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has joined with public and private organizations to remind consumers that fruits and vegetables promote better health. It is estimated that ninety percent [...] 09.1.10 | Education, Education Community Association (Teachers, Professors & Educators), Health, Pendidikan Dasar | Randolph Holbrook 
Does Motherhood Make You Stupid?by Joanne Stern The mom who recently made that statement is clearly drowning in the frenzied white water of parenting. Although swimming in a sea of diapers, laundry, scattered toys and sibling squabbles may not feel very mentally stimulating to most of us, don’t despair. By being purposeful [...] 08.31.10 | EQ, Education, Education Community Association (Teachers, Professors & Educators) | Ivone Pack 
Pack School Lunches With DIY Eco-Loveby Ronnie Citron-Fink Summer is fading fast, and while it is bittersweet to say goodbye to those lazy, hazy days of summer, the start of a new school year brings expectations of new beginnings. 08.31.10 | Education, Education Community Association (Teachers, Professors & Educators), Pendidikan Dasar | Katherine Norlan 
Reading Activitiesby Barbara J. Feldman Although printed books will probably be center stage for reading activities with preschoolers and early elementary grades, the Internet also has a huge stash of online reading activities and ideas for offline activities such as puppet play and making bookmarks. 08.30.10 | Education, Education Community Association (Teachers, Professors & Educators), IQ | Zachary Lynch 
Back-To-School Surprise: BYO Toilet Paper?by Ronnie Citron-Fink Surprise! It’s back-to-school time. Well, that’s no surprise, but what is surprising are the lists of school supplies some school children are required to bring with them this year. Along with the ordinary backpack, pencils and paper, there are some supply requests that are shocking and expensive. 08.28.10 | Education, Education Community Association (Teachers, Professors & Educators), Pendidikan Dasar | Randolph Holbrook |
