We've all had them, class clowns.  The April issue of Scholastic Parent and Child contains my "Field Guide to Class Clowns."  One of the most interesting and affirming things that I learned while researching this piece, is that it would be very unusual for a parent to be completely surprised when a teacher tells them their child is a class clown.  Parents would typically see "clowning" behavior at soccer practice, karate, or any other social situation.  Here is a sneak peek at the article.  The longer, print version is on newsstands now.
