Once a teacher, always a teacher! Jay doesn't have to have a classroom full of wiggly first-graders to get on his soap-box. Their parents will do just as well -- and usually pay better attention.               Jay can customize a speech to the needs of the audience.

Following are examples of his topics:

• Easy ways to boost literacy in your family  

• The need for greater parent involvement in education  

• Creating a family mission statement  

• Kindergarten readiness  

• First grade readiness  

• Parent-school relations  

• Developing a sense of responsibility in children  

• Time management and organizing at home  

• The organized classroom - presentation for elementary school teachers
