Should Kids and Parents Take the School Curriculum Home?

Moms Talk is a feature on Nyack-Piermont Patch that is part of an initiative to reach out to moms and families. We invite you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Piermont and the Nyacks.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a talk about the latest parenting hot topic. Do you know of local moms raising their children in the Tiger Mother's way and is it the best way? Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How do we talk to our children about the Tucson shootings? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with a question about the upcoming :

The upcoming Inspire Nyack event will celebrate science and mathematics in school via assemblies and hands-on demonstrations, and parents are encouraged to continue the discussion at home. Our question: how important is it to build on the schools' curriculum at home? Are you often discussing lessons and values being taught in school at the house, too?
