The path worked for me, so it was the path I instinctively chose for my children. Fast forward a few experiments and school changes later (including international, private, parochial, traditional public schools), and today both children are in public dual language schools. That fact alone tells you I’ve changed my mind about a few things. But this is not a story about one model being “good” and the...]]></description><link>https://www.pivotforfamilies.com/post/traditional-school-vs-dual-language-school-which-better-prepares-kids-for-the-future</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d7e9c3fc7a52acb90a8791</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:05:14 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_6001d4fc358f416fa7d361ccd2e20414~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Vanessa Buffry</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Skills Our Kids Will Actually Need (and Why Most Schools Still Aren’t Optimized for Them)]]></title><description><![CDATA[When parents talk about “future‑ready skills,” the conversation often jumps straight to coding, robotics, or whatever new technical credential feels safest this year. But here’s the quieter truth: technical skills change. Human capabilities endure. The children who thrive in the 2030s and 2040s won’t be the ones who memorized the most content. They’ll be the ones who can make sense of change, work across differences, and learn continuously without needing to be told what to do. Based on...]]></description><link>https://www.pivotforfamilies.com/post/the-skills-our-kids-will-actually-need-and-why-most-schools-still-aren-t-optimized-for-them</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d7e8b6646a4e908b71b835</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:01:47 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/11062b_766eed21e68b488e81921faddf557e79~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Vanessa Buffry</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[We Were Raised to Follow the Rules. Our Kids Are Being Raised for a Different World.]]></title><description><![CDATA[I grew up in Denver. I went to traditional public schools, spoke one language (English), did my homework, got good grades, went to excellent universities in the U.S. and abroad, and—by all the rules of the 1990s and early 2000s—did exactly what I was supposed to do. And to be clear: it worked. For a while. My parents raised me with a simple, sensible assumption that many millennial parents will recognize: If you follow the rules, get educated, and work hard, you’ll be okay. That worldview...]]></description><link>https://www.pivotforfamilies.com/post/we-were-raised-to-follow-the-rules-our-kids-are-being-raised-for-a-different-world</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d7e773fc7a52acb90a8266</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:57:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/814838_4a239c5c25294611870fff2dd92edd3e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Vanessa Buffry</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Empowering Future-Ready Families Through Education Choices]]></title><description><![CDATA[In today's rapidly changing world, families face a myriad of choices when it comes to education.
