Welcome to the first issue of "Chalk Talk" a forum for educators, parents, students, and all those interested in what is happening in the world of education.

This is an opportunity to share your ideas and thoughts.  Here are some topics we might cover or ones to which you can contribute:

--current status of education (No Child Left Behind, testing, literacy issues)
--how to get your child ready for school and maintain your sanity throughout the school year
--trends in education, school activities, school fashions
--feeding your child's mind and tummy
--funding education

and so much more.

I look forward to hearing from you and making this a fruitful and educational experience for all.
