Sons and daughters who tell the truth, care about people, show respect, treat others equally and fairly, are loyal and responsible. It' s about ideas, multiple drafts, fixing punctuation, proofing and polishing. Done right, it' s fun, too. You don' t have to be a genius to make math fun and interesting for your children. And you don' t need to spend a lot of money on tutors, flash cards or computer software.
Tumultuous home lives.
About the series Education is key to our success, as individuals and as a society. Schools have reduced class sizes and raised academic expectations in the hope of turning out students prepared to build a brighter future. But schools can only do so much. What happens outside the classroom is just as crucial. This Union-Tribune series is for parents and others who want to help children get the most out of school.
