Planting the seeds of good writing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How can I help my son become a better writer? He’ll soon be writing college application essays, and his skills are low. If you’re only looking for help on college application essays, since these are usually written by semi-adults, many educators would suggest an adult tool: AI. It can help guide one who’s willing to learn in the same way as a personal tutor, but it’s a terrible option if he’s open to taking shortcuts. If, however, you prefer an individual who can write well from now until foreve
Do 504 accommodations help anxious students? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’ve got a daughter with anxiety. She doesn’t like giving presentations, so the school has her on a 504 plan so she can do a different assignment. Is this OK?

Read excerpt
My daughter is getting one digital learning program after another, even though she’s in a brick-and-mortar school. The requirements are exhausting, but it hasn’t helped her learning. Now I’m hearing one of the programs is being sued. Are these programs hurting kids? The pandemic should have ended the fascination with online learning for children. For years, tech supporters hawked their tools as the answer to failing schools and growing achievement gaps. Then came 2020, and kids stayed home with
Growth through distress tolerance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I read an article that said “distress tolerance” is the most important skill for parents. Do you agree? One of the most crucial parenting skills, argues Claire Lerner in Psychology Today, isn't calming your child. It's calming yourself. Lerner calls this “distress tolerance”: the ability to stay composed while your child is upset instead of rushing to eliminate their discomfort. Children need to experience manageable discomfort.
