    7 Things to Consider as Your Child Begins Kindergarten This Fall

    Is your kid starting kindergarten this fall? As you begin filling out those kindergarten registration packets and preparing for the excitement of this fall, I'd like to share a few personal lessons learned. While I know each of your experiences will be unique, I've prepared a bit of elementary school wisdom to bear in mind as your child embarks on the road to academia. - By Lori Garcia

      You do not have to join the P.T.A.
      I repeat, you do not have to join the P.T.A., unless of course you want to. The day my son told me his homework assignment was to get me to join the P.T.A. was the very same day I wrote a lengthy letter to his teacher about the power of personal choice. Join if you want to, don't if you don't.
