Time to Adopt the 5+ Solution to Combat the Alcohol Pandemic

Bush's National Standards caused a lot of grief in the US and accomplished nothing! Parents should be the watchdog like I was when my kids were young. I made sure the kids met the standards for their age group. That included extra family spelling be…

I agree with everything you say Matt, BUT I feel it is a betrayal of a child if the education system does not provide basic literacy and numeracy...and currently it is not doing this..AND as part of literacy, we spell countrys as country's (sorry!!!…
