Another idea is to teach kids to use online tools (when mom and dad are around) and perhaps start their own blog, or read the blogs of others. And, of course, they can also read/listen to the quickanddirtytips.com podcasts - and see if they can catch any errors in the transcript. http://mightymommy.quickanddirtytips.com/summer-retention.aspx?commentid=17436#Comments http://mightymommy.quickanddirtytips.com/summer-retention.aspx?commentid=17436#Comments Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:08:53 GMT Jonathan T. parenting Wow.. Thank you very much for the information you have given to me. It helped me a lot for my kids. With the economy today, it is important to save a lot of money.

Because, education is very costly today. http://mightymommy.quickanddirtytips.com/summer-retention.aspx?commentid=17383#Comments http://mightymommy.quickanddirtytips.com/summer-retention.aspx?commentid=17383#Comments Tue, 09 Jun 2009 06:09:02 GMT Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:08:53 GMT http://mightymommy.quickanddirtytips.com/summer-retention.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
