(Trenton, NJ) If you can remember my inaugural post, one of the aspirations for this blog space was that it would become a place where people would identify what’s wrong with the public schools in Our Town, then intelligently exchange ideas on how to make things better which, in turn, makes a better, stronger city and population. A reader recently shared with me this link, Get Good Grades Now http://www.getgoodgradeshow.com/, offering free tips and guides on how students, with the help of parents and anyone else in their corner, can improve scholastic performance.

I can bring you, the people of This City, to the well, but I can’t make you drink. Please remember and remind your children, your students, and those you mentor, that somewhere, some child IS reading this information, then taking it and running with it. That child has a jump on those who choose not to take advantage of such an offering.
