Outstanding Students Karen Terrill I would like to honor some of my students in the newsletter. I celebrate students who turn all work in, who are respectful to me and their classmates, who are responsible, and hardworking. I am so proud of you all. Estoy muy orgullosa de todos ustedes. Most parents expect their children to earn a college degree, yet only about one in four children actually do.
Parents expect children to behave in school.
Yet only one in four of 6,500 kids recently polled said behaving in school is important. The problem is negative peer pressure, says one expert. Studying isn't cool to many kids, nor is being interested in sports and after school activities. This sends a strong message that learning and schoolwork are important. Actively monitor your child's friends.
