The researchers compared the eating habits of identical twins...

However, rather than just sticking to the usual text to let the kids know, the principal and deputy chose a more impressive way to announce the snow day. The pupils are pretty lucky to have a principal like this....

While dining at a Chinese restaurant, parents of a young boy received a pretty complimentary note from a stranger. Another brother shared the message on Reddit and wrote: “I'm not sure what my younger brother did, but he needs to keep it up.” The eldest son prides the little boy’s manners on being homeschooled and how his parents raised them. Mum and dad are obviously doing something right....

It seems like the availability of unhealthy snacks in post-primary schools may be causing our children to be obese. The Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn thinks that secondary schools should not have vending machines that sell ‘junk food’ and plans to do something to change the current situation.
