Study Skills and a message about the earth.

It's that time of year and make sure parents out there that you are teaching your kids how to study for exams. If you don't know how, then get a book and learn this yourself. There are also great sites on the web (one is: www.resourceroom.net) that cover this as well. If you feel that your kid's teacher too has prepared an adequate review sheet, let that teacher know so that he/she can rectify this. Make sure too that your son/daughter has quiet and order in their lives the week before finals. Don't plan family outings etc. Go over strategies as well and get your son/daughter to discuss when they will be studying for each course and what tactics they hope to employ.

Earth Talk: I was reading Leonard Peltier's blog today and he had some strong comments that we all need to consider. People like Mr. Peltier understand the freedoms that you and I have (as he has been jailed unfairly for 30 years-my opinion), the freedoms that so many of us take for granted. Check out what he has written at: http://lpdctexas.blogspot.com/2005/11/day-of-mourning-message-from-leonard.html
