...those parents who enroll their??preschoolers in tutoring programs [Dec. 3], I say, Let children be children! At my daughter's preschool, the students learn how to cook. They are encouraged at age 4 to write their own names. My daughter speaks English and French fluently and wants to learn Spanish. She loves being a kid, and we enjoy learning together. For now, I'm enjoying seeing her learn at her own pace and encouraging her. At such a young age, being with parents after school is better than sending them off to another classroom...

And, just like Olympians, Italian fashion designers divide into opposing teams. But instead of medals, they compete for the attention and the dollars of press and buyers from all over the world. The prize could be an "It" handbag with the potential to add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the bottom line, or a winning collection that elevates a designer or a brand to the top of fashion's scoreboard...
...During their??20 years together, husband and wife Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley, plus bassist James McNew, have been praised more than Philip Roth and sold only slightly more records. These three discs are the perfect way to discover a band that swings wildly between exuberant lo-fi noisemaking (The Story of Jazz, Shaker) and some of the best adult love songs of the past decade (Stockholm Syndrome, Tears Are in Your Eyes). They're proof that maturity and fun are not mutually exclusive...
