back to school

Reading is great for kids. Reading to animals is great for everyone.

You don't expect high schools to be housed in former mansions and Mason hangouts -- but that's exactly the history of one of Canisius High School's most iconic buildings.

Schools seem to be moving away from teaching such basic things as spelling and vocabulary, and it’s only going to get worse.

Congrats to the students of the University at Buffalo!  You not only are well educated, but apparently you know how to party as well.

No doubt about it. The tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary will be burned in our minds forever. We may never know what makes people act the way they do or even think about murdering innocent school children. Is it something that is learned? Is aggression, anger and violence something that is learned? Or are certain peoples brains/chemicals made up differently preventing them from seeing right vs wron

Do you remember your high school prank? This one went so bad that the school is having a problem nearly two years later. The kids just love to clog the toilet and watch them overflow which, clearly causes a disaster (and a nasty one at that). But, here’s how they’re ‘solving’ the problem that has parents and kids in an outrage.

U.B. has once again made the Kiplinger list of the top 100 best value public colleges.

A 1st grade school teacher presented each child in class the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.   It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders.  Their insight may surprise you.

When I was in school, it was near to impossible to get a sick day.  The only way to get out of school was for a dentist/orthodontist appointment, a death in the family, or if we were on our own death bed.  I've found that as a parent, I'm not as strict when it comes to that as my mom and dad were.

We all know how annoying morning and afternoon commutes can be.  Accidents, disabled vehicles, volume delays and the "cheese bus."  Yes, the dreaded cheese bus.  How many times have you been stuck behind a cheese bus and waited on the bus aide, a slow walking kid, a kid

It's almost that time of year again. In just a few short weeks, Buffalo's students -- from kindergarteners to college seniors -- will be headed back to school. We know hindsight is 20/20 and that you're supposed to learn from, not regret, your mistakes, but our DJs wanted to offer some advice.
