Education: How Seeing Beyond the Grades is Better for Your Child and for You

"Education is perhaps the greatest superpower of them all." That's what Jacki Bragg said during her Teacher of the Year speech at graduation. In this episode, Mrs. Bragg explains what she sees as the true value of school, how involved parents should be, and just how important are grades. In Off the Record, our teen panel answers a question about what to do when your kid won't tell you what's going on in school, and one mom Takes One for the Team by sharing a story about why she was convinced her kid would grow up to be, as she says, "A screw up." Plus, our Safe Kids Tip of the Week helps parents get their kids to school safely.
