school

Mums at homecoming have been a Texas tradition for years, but are they getting too elaborate? One Texas girl spent $600 on her mum.

Some Texas parents have stumbled upon a pretty cool idea, and you can do this after the kids go to bed and surprise them in the morning.

Were you paddled in school growing up? Do you think it played a positive or negative role in your developmental years?

The entire school district was put on lock down after an active shooter entered Alpine High School.

A Texas teacher is getting a lot of attention for a "no homework" policy that she says she's planning to stick to all year long. She wants kids to play outside, have dinner with family, and get to bed early instead of burying noses in the books at home.  Think it'll catch on?

It's a brand new school year and a fresh opportunity to get good grades.  But will the best and brightest in Texas stick around after graduation?

If you are on social media at all this week, you will quickly understand that school has started. As parents, there is some sort of reflex that makes us mark these back-to-school moments on Facebook, and as you might be able to see in this picture, the kids would rather just hurry up and get to class

School starts next week in Tyler and all across East Texas, and kids will be cramming iPods, notebooks, Kindles, phones, a change of shoes, snacks, and maybe even a book into those backpacks. How heavy is too heavy?  If the backpack weighs more than a certain amount, it can knock kids off balance and lead to back problems later on.  Here's the magic number.

It's time to Stuff The Bus with school supplies!

It's always a dilemma for parents. Kids create art from the heart all year long in school, and although you've trashed some of it here and there, the end-of-the-year stack takes some consideration because there is guilt involved.  Keep it or junk it?

A good quality education is what we want for our children and that's just what some Longview ISD students are receiving at several elementary school campuses.

As a parent with a child or children, you want them to receive the best education possible. Whether you're moving around within the city or moving to Tyler, schools play a huge role in where you end up living.
