So I went exploring last night. I was in search of signs of life: blogs that would be of interest to me as a parent. Pointers and tidbits I could use at home with my own children. The blogosphere is vast – stunningly so – but while I found a few worlds worth revisiting, there were none teeming with the life I sought.

Primarily, education blogs focus on a system that appears broken to almost everyone: parents, teachers, students, and politicians. Many of these are interesting. Certainly, the passion that fuels them is inspiring. Check out some of the best that I found by linking from “Education-related Blogs” on the right.

In the meantime, continue to look here for pointers on study skills, finding great tutors, getting help for students, and more.
