I would try potty trainnig rewards. This worked great for our son. He loved pushing the button hearing he is a Big Boy. He was peeing and pooping in his potty within a week. I know every child is different, but have a look and see if this would work for you. http://www.pottytrainingrewards.com

My middle school doesn’t have a study hall. I sure wish it did because it would be way easier to keep my grades up, especially with sports and stuff. Half and hour of study hall would make up for the stuff I can’t finish at home, and I think if I could persuade my principle to add a study hall then grades would rocket.

I’m currently writing a paper for my English class about why we should have a Study Hall period in my Junior High. I think that it would be great to have a time to be able to work in a quiet enviroment where there isn’t much going on and be able to work on my homework and study. I am involved in four or five after school activities and I almost never have time to do my homework. I manage to keep good grades by staying up late every night until I either fall asleep or miraculously get everything done. A study hall would enable me to be able to get my homework done at school and be able to sleep at night. I have four sisters at home who aren’t nearly as busy as I am, and so by the time I get home and get to working on my homework there is way too much going on for me to be able to concentrate. I think getting the choice to have a study hall would really benefit a lot of students like me.

I think a study hall period would be great. I really wish my middle school had one because a lot of people have after school activities and we have a lot of homework and not enough time to compleat it. So i think a study hall period would be great.

Study hall is great. It really gives students a time to finish or start their homework. At my house it is hectic and loud so I have a hard time completeing all my homework.

Comment on Happy — and Healthy — New Year! by Scott Anderson

A great way to start the year if you want kids to have a good attitude toward Fruits & Vegetables is a new book, “The ABC’s of Fruits & Vegetables and Beyond”. Educators, parents (and grandparents for that matter) will be very interested in the book, as it helps mold kid’s attitudes toward these important foods from the day they start learning the alphabet. Out only six months, it has already been bought in bulk by a number of educational organizations and recommended by leading nutritionists. From best selling food writer David Goldbeck and Jim Hensen writer Steve Charney. More at HealthyHighways.com

What company offers a type of Virtual School for my daughter to watch a teacher teach 4th grade on our television. My daughter remembers whatever she sees and hears and I think this type of learning will be more effective than the workbooks we are currently using. If you have names of companies to forward me, I will gladly call them to inquire of their curriculum. Thank you.
