Often these potential problem areas can be avoided with extra teaching or simple adult engagement. The ability to identify these problems and provide support can greatly improve a child's knowledge and avoid issues down the road. With Family Education's Back-to-School Arcade parents and teachers can gain a child's attention. Once children are drawn to the video game feel of the arcade, the testing and learning quickly begin with up-to-date quizzes on a variety of subjects. These quizzes are clearly defined and broken down into specific categories making it very easy to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a child.

The highlight of the 2006 Back-to-School Program is the school shopping spree with a grand prize of a $4,000; a prize welcomed by any teacher or family.
