In today's edition of our local paper, the syndicated advice column of "Annie" (he writers are long time editors of the Ann Landers advice column), had a letter from a school nurse.
Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids by Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell | Creators Syndicate
The last letter in the column addresses a concern raised (correctly IMHO) by a school nurse who feels that more skills should be taught at home. Their response was "You want the kids to learn cursive or to make correct change? Here is your opportunity to teach them".
What say my esteemed school nurse colleagues?
