    Your Checklist for Finding the Right Fit for a Private Education

    8/9/2016

     
    Your Checklist for Finding the Right Fit for a Private Education
    If you're a parent considering a private education for your child, you can find a plethora of information about schools simply by visiting their websites and reading through admissions materials. However, nothing can be more valuable during this process than physically visiting the school and the personal interactions that you have with the teachers, students, and parents of the school.

    To help ensure that you are choosing the right school to give your child the best private education possible, we recommend walking through this checklist as you tour the school:

    • 1) The school has a positive reputation in the community.
    • 2) The mission and philosophy of the school align with my child's interests, needs, and passions.
    • 3) The school will be flexible in working with our family.
    • 4) The school fosters an environment for students to want to become lifelong learners.
    • 5) The students at the school are friendly and seem enthusiastic about what they're learning.
    • 6) The teachers and staff are experienced and take the personal development of students to heart.
    • 7) The school offers a safe and secure environment, and these security measures are evident just from visiting the school.
    • 8) Graduates seem to excel once they leave the school, whether it be admission to a respected private high school or scholarships to college.​

    What is Pokémon Go and Should My Kids Be Playing It?

    8/9/2016

     
    What is Pokémon Go and Should My Kids Be Playing It?
    Have you noticed groups of kids gathered together looking at their phones? If so, there's a very good chance that they're playing Pokémon Go, which is the hottest new smartphone app game to hit the streets.

    The game uses your phone's GPS to send you on a hunt for monsters and makes virtual Pokémon appear around you for capturing. As you walk around town, the goal is the capture as many Pokémon that you can so that you can train them and battle them against other Pokémon Go players.

    This huge sensation has created a number of safety concerns for parents though. Could the game be too distracting for kids and cause them to not pay attention to where they're walking? Considering the game involves interacting with other players, will this cause kids to let their guard down too soon?

    With that being said, should your kids be playing Pokémon Go? Since we frequently use our blog to offer parenting tips, we wanted to touch on this valid concern.
