Every parenting blog in the land is mentioning President Obama's speech that's being shown in many schools today. Turns out it's about working hard, being responsible, etc. I'll leave it to the conspiracy theorists to decode the subliminal socialist messages....<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/typepad/buffalonews/parent_company/~4/SzApr0o54X0" height="1" width="1"/>

The New York Times' Room for Debate blog has a panel considering the pluses and minuses of summer homework. This has been the subject of debate in our house.
