Child’s SSN is staying safe at home with parents

The government wants our childrens’ Social Security numbers so they can track our students after high school and then judge the public school system they attended. As a third-generation educator, I know first-hand how hard we work to make education strong, but it is by leaps and bounds that the family dynamic has the most influence.

The encouragement, support and love that a child finds at home has the strongest impact on a child’s success both during and after high school.

As we head back to school, give your child that encouragement and be a partner in their education. (And my child’s Social Security number is staying securely at home).
