Is Your Child in Georgia Pre-K?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia has a lottery-funded pre-k program free to 4-year-olds across the state, but a lot of parents don’t participate.
If you have a 4-year-old child and opted not to do the state’s pre-k, please tell us why… And if you did have a child in pre-k, how did you like it?

Sub-to-Teach
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A friend’s very bright son has graduated from college and is about to start his teaching career. But he isn’t going to be a classroom teacher this year. He is going to sub in the county where he wants to live in hopes of figuring out which high school he would enjoy the most and making inroads with the principal. He hopes to start teaching full-time next year.
Many new teachers end up in challenging schools, but this shows that not all are interested in doing that. And with the reverse empty nest syndrome - grown children returning to live with their parents - this approach to job hunting is feasible for some.
Is this a good strategy for landing the plum teaching position?
Crossblogination: Over at Momania, there’s a discussion on fees/donations public schools hit parents up for at the beginning of the year.
