This law will leave behind millions of children, while labeling many of our best public schools and most dedicated educators failures, he said. NEA has long supported the broad objectives of this legislation which is to close the achievement gap and to guarantee a highly qualified teacher in every classroom. But there are serious problems with this law that go beyond the obvious lack of funding, said Weaver. The law sets unrealistic goals, and then directs us to meet these goals or else. It is obsessed with tests, punishments, and labels. Weaver said that NEA is working to make changes in the law so that Americas children are not hurt by the rhetoric of reform. They have met with Secretary of Education Rod Paige and have an active group of lobbyists. A effort from NEA headquarters will not overcome this opposition, he said. To succeed, we need a vast, grassroots effort involving millions of public educators and parents. A ground-swel- l will not do- - we need to requirement.

Here are tips on transitioning kids to healthier lifestyles. The dinner table is the perfect place for quality time with kids. Making eating a positive social experience is essential. Eating alone often leads to overeating. Be sure to praise kids when they try something new and nutritious. If you want them to sample a new food, its best to catch them when theyre the most hungry. Have fun with food. Serve nutritious snacks with a bit of flair and encourage kids to participate. For example: Watermelon slices are a sweet snack, but watermelon balls fun are definitely treats. Fruit never was this kid-size- d much fun. Food labels are a must-reaso teach kids to read them. Labels give you insight d into total calories per serv ing. They also reference the number of calories attributed to fat. Additionally, youll be able to identify different types of fat as well as vitamins, minerals, cholesterol, fiber and sodium. Exercising together is a fun way to reinforce that physical activity is a good thing. Whether you go on a walk, shoot hoops together or splash in the pool, youll be encouraging your kids to get active. Go easy on salty and processed foods. Eat them in moderation and avoid adding salt to recipes. Teach kids to locate salt (sodium) on the list of ingredients featured on a fqod label. Fill your shopping cart with color. When youre at the produce section of the supermarket or a farmers market, ask kids to find fruits and veggies in each of the five essential colors. Rally them to locate red fruits and vegetables and ask them why theyre so exceptional. Dont limit yourself to fruit as a dessert. Add a watermelon garnish to your plate or enjoy as a refreshing side dish. Serve fruit in bite-sizportions for easy access e snacking. Create an amazing fruit smoothie by using brightly colored fruits such as berries, watermelon and bananas. Encourage kids to become lunch chefs. Ask them to suggest healthy lunches and help them with the preparation.
