Kids, Politics and History

As I watched Elena Kagan get elected to Supreme Court Justice I couldn't help but wonder...how many of our children will or know who she is? I think it's our responsibility and the responsibility of our teachers to not only teach history in the classrooms but current events as well. It's so important as newspapers are rarely found on the kitchen table anymore. I highly doubt an 11 year old will sign onto the Boston Globe web site to read about such an event.

Overcoming Fear

As I get older, I fear less. Attribute it to experience, hardships and life. I am grateful for this - now.
