 | Chicago schools have made headlines twice in the last few days: One story from the windy city was the controversial move by some schools to nix redshirting, or the deliberate delaying of kindergarten by parents who want to keep their kids at home for a year before starting school. Another had to do with a school deciding to ban lunches from home.

This and more, all in this week's Parenting School Age Children Newsletter. | |
