The Education Blog in Review: Nov. 6 through Nov. 19

Since our great education blogger, Kaye Siders, left us at the end of October, the Education blog has been missing some reviews. The day before yesterday, I had written the first Education in review since the end of October. Make sure you check those out if you need to catch up!

My children, (I have two in school) both go to school on a military base and for many of us that means a little bit more security. I mean we choose between public school and base schools for many reasons but the number one is knowing our children are safe. My daughter goes to a school that is normally great, I really do like her school but there are some issues … Continue reading →
