1999 Spring break is several weeks away and, for many kids, school has become a succession of routine lessons, assignments and projects.

Parents must continue to set high expectations for their children. Expect little, and you'll get little. The longer a child is allowed to slack off, the harder it is to catch up. Don't wait for the next report card to tell you how hard your child is working at school. One good indicator is the amount of effort put into doing homework.
