How Home and School Intersect
While schooling is a critically important part of a person's education, it's just one part. A child's education encompasses all of the learning that she or he does in life. Teachers and schools are in charge of our children's schooling, but parents facilitate and support their children's overall education in many ways.

How Does Your Child Shine?
All of us have different learning styles, different ways in which we are "smart." It's very helpful for parents to be aware of the ways in which children learn best, and to help children come to know their strengths and the ways they learn best. Parents can also help their children develop their abilities to learn in other ways as well.
