I love the concept of “Throwback Thursday” and seeing all of the vintage pics on social media sites.

A school in Richmond, Virginia has recently started enforcing a new rule that has parents up in arms. Following instructions laid out by the federal government, children are not allowed to bring their own bagged lunch to school without a note from a physician.

A mom, whose son with autism attends a public school in California, turned down $86,000 to have her son pulled from school.

Over the last week and a half, my Facebook feed has been fraught with youngsters and teens alike posing for a picture to memorialize their first day of fill-in-the-blank grade.
