Ever wondered how to balance the chaos of back-to-school season while keeping your sanity? This episode of The Gag Is Podcast is your survival guide. I share my personal rollercoaster experiences from this whirlwind time—from cheering on New Face as they tackle a dual high school and college program to the emotional journey of sending my eldest, Marco Polo, off to college. And yes, you'll laugh along as I recount the epic battles of packing school lunches and meeting my son's picky food demands.

Parental involvement isn't just a buzzword; it's the cornerstone of our children's academic success. Drawing on my dual experience as a parent and former teacher, I spotlight essential tools like Canvas and Parent View, helping you stay on top of grades and attendance. Forget the headaches of missed school forms and homework woes—we've got strategies for it all. From debriefing your child's day to maintaining a weekly grade check, this episode is packed with practical tips to keep your child on the path to success.

In a world where social media often overshadows the joy of reading, how can we cultivate a love for books in our children? With alarming statistics showing that many middle schoolers are reading below grade level, I emphasize the role of parents in turning this trend around. Discover creative ways to encourage reading, whether it's during car rides or through public library resources. Remember, "books before distractions" is our guiding principle.
