The newest edition of the Carnival of Family Life is up at lohud.com (or “Lower Hudson Valley,” for the cognoscenti).
My favorite post his week is by Angela Norton Tyler. She presents a remarkable piece, with teh equally remarkable title, 10 Ways to Make Certain That Your Kids Hate School, Become Lazy & Dependent Learners, Drive Their Teachers Crazy, & End Up Living in Your Basement Until They Are 40 . You can visit Angela at Homework. Dinner. Life. The story is about her realization that she has been doing too much for her daughter. Parents: food for thought, even as your youngsters enter the college admissions phase of their educational journey.

The newest edition of the Carnival of Family Life is up at All Rileyed Up. Check out all the really cool posts. My favorite post this week is So Sexy, So Soon, in which the author talks about the sexualization of young girls. It’s a great (but somewhat depressing) post over at Telling It Like It Is.

The latest edition of the Carnival of Education is up today at the Elementary Educator, and it’s full of interesting posts, as usual.
In addition, the third edition of a new carnival, the Carnival of College Admission is up. I’m happy to see this Carnival get going–so happy, that I’ll be hosting it next week.
This week’s Carnival of College Admission has articles on extracurricular activities, writing the personal statement, and notes on a couple of plays written by students about the thrills and chills of the whole admissions process.
So have a look around and consider adding your own post to the Carnival. You can submit your entry by using the handy-dandy form.
