As someone who actually studies the science of how to teach people, all this common-core hate is bullshit. When we were in school, all we were taught was how to add and multiply, like a cook book. We never learned why we were doing it, and that made more advanced math a lot more difficult than it should have been.…

I feel like the only person who didn't like Frozen. Tangled is 1000 times better.

At the same time, I've also discovered, as a parent and through life experience, that these things are happening way more often than we think, particularly abuse and…
I'm starting sex ed early. My son isn't yet four and I've been reading him a kid-geared facts of life book called "Who Made Me." (I censor out all the God parts, and hedge all the wedding prereqs by say that sometimes the moms & dads get married, but not always). I figure if I start young and frequently, it won't be…
