SOBRE ESTE PODCAST 🔗
Choosing a school, navigating special education, deciding when to start kindergarten. These are some of the highest-stakes decisions parents make, and most of us make them with bad information and not enough time.
This playlist collects every conversation I've had on those decisions. Public vs private schools and what the data actually shows. Montessori vs traditional preschool. Whether to hold your child back before kindergarten. IEPs, 504 plans, and how to get the support your child is entitled to. Homeschooling legally. What really matters for college admissions.
Each one is built around a single question, with educators, school psychologists, special education advocates, and parents who've already been through it.

ÚLTIMO EPISÓDIO 🔗
Nearly every state now has a dyslexia law. Research published this year found most of them haven't changed much for struggling readers.

EPISÓDIOS ANTERIORES 🔗
Your child has a summer birthday. They'll be one of the youngest in the class. And someone has suggested you wait a year.
It's called redshirting, and it feels like everyone is doing it. They aren't.
In March 2026, researchers looked at data from more than three million kindergartners and found abo…
Families pay admissions consultants thousands of dollars to get through this process. Most of what they're buying isn't secret. It just isn't explained to anyone who doesn't pay for it.
Start with the part nobody tells you: when a school says it has thirty places in a grade, that is not thirty plac…
It's 7:40 in the morning. Your child is on the floor, or in bed, or locked in the bathroom saying their stomach hurts. Again.
You have twenty minutes to decide whether to push, or let them stay home.
Here's what nobody tells you about that decision. Both options feel wrong because both options are …
There's a systematic review of research on parent-teacher conferences, and it found something that isn't in any of the "20 questions to ask" articles.
The conference is not a neutral meeting between two equals. The teacher is the person in charge, the person positioned as the expert, and the person…
A child who disrupts a classroom gets attention within a week. A child who is quietly drowning can go years before anyone asks a single question.
Here are two numbers that show it.
In community studies, where researchers screen whole populations rather than waiting for someone to raise a hand, boys…
Dates shown are for the 2027-28 admissions cycle. Always verify on each school's own site before you rely on them.
I looked at two of the most prestigious private schools in this region. Sidwell Friends in DC and Gilman in Baltimore. They're an hour apart.
Almost nothing about their application pro…
Your child is struggling at school and someone told you to ask for an IEP. Or maybe a 504. Nobody explained the difference, including the school.
Here's the simplest way to think about it: a 504 changes the environment. An IEP changes the instruction. If your child can learn the same way as everyon…
Your kid's teacher is looking at 26 faces. Here's how to make sure yours isn't the one they misread.
Carol Muleta of The Parenting 411 has raised twin sons who are now 26, and she has a habit most parents never think of: she emailed every teacher at the start of the school year, before there was ev…
