My kids ask me each and every morning, without fail: “Is it the weekend?” Oh, how they wish and will for perpetual Saturdays and Sundays. But luckily, my kids are about to be woken up in style. By a celebrity.
Hit the educational advocacy website Get Schooled and through the end of the school year, you can register your kids to receive a morning wake-up call from a celebrity education ambassador like Common, Ludacris, Ciara, and MTV’s Sway Calloway. In other
words, folks that might not get you out of bed but they’ll probably work wonders on your teen.
My own kids’ principal is digging the program because tardinesses affects school scores, student success rates, and even love of education. So get your kids to wake up and smell the hot cocoa! Or at least, have Wiz Khalifa and Nicki Minaj to do it for you. –Eva
Get Schooled is completely free! If your kid is 13 or over, sign up for a celebrity wake-up call at GetSchooled.com
Every morning, I have to pretend like I’m my kids’ stuffed animals to get them out of bed. Like a puppet show. It’s exhausting. I’m the victim of my own competence because they like how I do the voices. If I weren’t such a nice person, I’d just throw cold water on them and yell like they did in old-time orphanages.
