Are your kids doing what they're supposed to be doing?

There's no reason why what you post on a blog has to be long: if it's something worth sharing it can be as short as you like. Here's an example, a quote:

If you ask me what to do about a kid being "off task"—one of our favorite buzzwords—my first response is going to be, "What's the task?"

-- Alfie Kohn (writer and speaker on education and parenting)
