Today's Monday Consult question comes from a reader who was concerned about a lesson taught in her son's kindergarten classroom. Because she suspects the lesson plan comes from higher up in the school than her son's teacher, she was reluctant about taking it to the teacher. And she didn't want to be seen as one of those pushy "helicopter parents" when the school year has just begun. But our expert for today, Mariale Hardiman - former principal of Roland Park Elementary-Middle School and now assistant dean for urban school partnerships at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education, says it would be worse to leave the teacher out of the discussion.

Ruth Rhymaun is a good cook. The busy Bel Air wife and mother of two knows the terms, she has the knife skills, and she routinely turns out pasta, soup, burgers and Shepherd's Pie for dinner. Problem is, it's become too routine. She uses the same 10 ingredients over and over as the base for many meals, and knows her husband Martin, 4-year-old Willow and 3-year-old Lucas would like to try some new foods. So Rhymaun volunteered for The Sun's Make Over My Meal series. She wanted some new ingredients that would be easy to keep in the house and spin into new meals.

Kisaiah D. Brown, At the first hint of snow, some Baltimore-area residents scramble to the supermarket, clamoring for their bread, milk and toilet paper.

Yesterday, Hardiman was one of the hundreds of delivery people who braved the perilous weather and the area's daffy drivers so other residents could stay inside, out of the snow.
