Mary Gardner Sleep is Essential

How many of us are effective on little amounts of sleep? How about sending a child to school on Monday morning after a crazily booked weekend??

NOT GOOD.

Staying in may not be as fun, but it certainly makes things a lot easier on the family wh… Continue

Yesterday I was just feeling so grateful! I went through the whole day just thanking God that our family is functioning NORMALLY!!! Sure, there are the things like my son trying to stay up too late or get out of swim practice.. but that's normal kid stuff. Mostly though now, he comes home and tells me about his day from school and who he likes and who likes whom. It's really fun and cute and I remember a few short years ago, even MONTHS ago.. and in some instances.

Suzanne Schwarz Our Children Can Learn

Dear Parents, I would like to send a message to our communities about the abuse that is still happening to our special needs individuals in general and how we must put an end to it. Most of this abuse is due to the fact that our educators are not properly trained and supervised. This is unacceptable and needs to change immediately. I also would like to send a message about how many of our children that have been cheated out of a proper education. I would like to help educators to take a major… Continue

Mary Gardner Public or Private School?

This is the start of the summer and my new job is to find a solution for our son's school issues. This past year, he was in second grade. He did fine in his grades. He regularly did his homework. But he got sent out of the classroom nearly every day. The teachers knew he needed space to get himself together. He's making noises, talking out loud when it's supposed to be quiet and distracting the other kids. Hearing that your child is causing so much disruption is stressful enough, but hearing t… Continue
