Urge to compare children is hard to resistI'm finding it hard not to compare my child to others her age. Reese is healthy, communicative, active and right where she needs to be developmentally. At her 1-year checkup, our pediatrician was pleased with her growth and progress. He assured me she is hitting all of her milestones right on target. That news was music to my ears because, just like every parent on the planet, all I want is for my little girl to live a long, healthy, happy life.

PR spin on SAT scores fails to aid educationI think I may have hit a truth nerve. I criticized Gov. Sonny Perdue for his massive public relations campaign on SAT scores.
