How can parents prepare children for adulthood? Working as a dean at Stanford University, Julie Lythcott-Haims was dismayed both by the basic life-skill deficiencies she observed in many first-year students and the frequent parent interventions to try to ease their near-adult children's burdens. Then she looked in the proverbial mirror. "My 'Aha!' moment was when I came home one night, sat down at the dinner table, leaned over my 10-year-old's plate and began cutting his...
Many Hinsdale Central students who said they wanted to attend classes two days a week in person haven't been showing up. "There are a good portion of students, who even though they're in the hybrid, are actually not coming to the hybrid on a regular basis," Chris Covino, assistant superintendent for instruction, said at the Feb. 23 Hinsdale High School District 86 Board meeting. "Given those trends, we want to talk about a change." Under the district's new "fill every seat"...

I recommend Terri Walker for the Hinsdale High School District 86 Board in the April 6 election with great enthusiasm. I met Terri several years ago as a neighbor, but I have gotten to know her better through her tireless work as a parent working to improve our schools. I have sought out Terri’s opinion on a number of issues because of her sound judgment. Well before she announced her candidacy for the District 86 Board, Terri demonstrated her commitment to ensuring the children in our community have access to a world-class e...
As a longtime resident of Hinsdale, parent and committed supporter of District 86, I have been puzzled and appalled by the curriculum changes that have been hastily implemented in our district over the past two years. Families move to our community expecting their children to receive an excellent education. Sadly, the changes made to our science and math curriculum will put that excellence in jeopardy. One size does not fit all when it comes to education and curriculum. The science and math departments at Hinsdale Central...
