Back to School With a Bit of Fun and Humor

Hi All,

Welcome back to another, new edition of our blog. If you haven't noticed it yet, you will...August is quickly drawing to a close which means....the fall is coming, football is on its way, and the baseball playoffs are drawing 'nigh. Oh, and one more thing - besides cooler weather - school. Yes, the dreaded 6 letter word is back and on its way. Get ready kids! But for parents - its that time of year. So...in order to make it a bit less painful for any school kids that are reading this blog, here is the link to a classic Staples commercial that was shown on tv in the late 1990's or early 2000's. Click here for the darn funny link!

Okay, now let's get a bit more serious...for parents here are a bunch of school supply related links. We'll try to save you money in the process!

Click here for the Wal-Mart 'Back to College' link

Click here for the Target 'Back to School' link

Click here for the link to the Internet Movie Database review of theo 1986 film starring the legendary Rodney "I don't get no respect" Dangerfield. It is also called 'Back to School' and it is a pretty funny and entertaining movie!

We've got to keep this blog entry rolling so here is another 'serious' link to Back to School resources. This time it is from the US Government - specifically it is from USA.gov and the site provides resources for students, parents, and educators in preparation for returning to school this fall. Click here for the link.

Yep, we know that school can be a drag, but it is pretty darn important in terms of careers, education and earning a livelihood...not to get all serious and all, but without school, education and learning your earning future is somewhat (to say the least) limited. So...make the best of it and study hard and get good grades.

Click on this link to see a very interesting article from About.com discussing - in actual dollars that readers can relate to - the merits of higher education. Simply put, the more school you go through, the more you are likely to earn in your lifetime. Click here for the link.

Finally - and I suspect I'll come back to this topic later in the fall - here is a link to 'how to study smarter and get better grades'. Click here.
