Dear Boundless Families: It's just day three of the boarding school, and already problems are mounting.  Blame David. He's our new Math teacher. Such a rookie.  Kids have barely had time to settle into their beds, and already he is overwhelming them with daily math...

Dear Boundless Families: It's day three but feels like day seven in terms of how the group is gelling. Warm, overcast, windless; with the air rich in summertime lusciousness (and bugs), your kids are blowing off steam on the ropes courses right now, shaking out...
