Welcome

To follow the educators blog visit educator-parentfusion.blogspot.com



It is an exciting time to be raising kids, although that does not make it simple by any means.

Your comments and opinions are greatly appreciated. We are here to discuss ideas (old and new) in both education and parenting. I believe there is a very important triad in childrearing that consists of the child/adolescent, the parent(s) and educator(s). My goal is to provide avenues for continuous support and communication between all three. For it is in the care and nurturing of all three participants that the hope for the future lies. No one element of this triad can carry all of the weight. All three must be supported in order to relieve the perceptions of stress and achieve balance.

I am excited that you have found this blog - I hope you find some intriguing and empowering thoughts that inspire you to join the conversation and help me spread inspiration, energy and ideas to everyone involved in this vitally important link to our future (is there anyone who is not connected in some way?!) We have lots to do!


I look forward to many inspirational discussions.

Online schools??

Are you rethinking schooling?  Is the threat of deep cuts - again causing doubt in your child's eucation?  I know it is for me.  As much as I want to hang in there and support the staff of my child's school, I can't help but think about what is best for my child.  I don't feel like I can afford private school, but then I haven't looked into them at all.  
This week I have decided that I must commit to some research on this topic. I will share what I find with you all, so you can ride along with me.  
This link is to an article on evaluating online schools, something I
have not seen yet.  There are now many online options however and it is time that we consider their value for our children as well.  

Check out his article and share your thoughts - please.  I can think of many questions that should come up as a result of this.  I will share them with you this week as well.  

Cheers, 

Julie
