In Episode 8, we discuss some of the ways that parents and others can help to keep students focused, and make the most of the time you have devoted to school during the week. This also includes a bit on Discipline, and how it can be different as a teacher than as a parent or other adult.

This episode features a wonderful interview with Balika, a middle-school science teacher and mother of two. She shares some advice, experiences, and a heaping spoonful of common sense for today's school ordeals.
