First day back after Spring Break

It was the first day back after two weeks off.  The kids were very talkative and it really bothers me that they are so distracted from their work.  I just don't think they understand the importance of getting a good education and not letting things slip away.  It's hard work to build good study habits and excel in school.  Even my own kids struggle with that and they both know that not getting good grades is not an option.  I joke with them that they must get a Master's degree before they can get into a relationship and I am only having joking.  With everything changing so rapidly in the world knowing how to solve problems in a variety of ways, I believe is going to be the key to success and an education can help you to learn that.
