Many Massachusetts children return to school this week; others return after Labor Day. At NBP, we believe that there is no more important duty to our children and their future than the work of great teachers and involved parents. And make no mistake, it takes both. Students with parents seriously involved in their education likely will do well.
One of the biggest problems for our schools is that too many parents — sometimes for legitimate reasons — are not involved enough. Schools are not meant to be education factories where we insert children into kindergarten and then wait for an educated teenager to emerge.
President Barack Obama will be Boston-bound this Labor Day, where he will participate in the 2015 Greater Boston Labor Council Labor Day Breakfast at Boston Park Plaza Hotel, according to Boston.com.
