Yes, I Throw Away My Kid's Art
 
I'm sure you know them well: the stacks of paper that somehow accumulate around the house from weekend coloring sessions and art class at school. Kids produce so much art, and while there are some treasures, so much of it is — let's get real — very bad.

Bluntly, is immunity 'use it, or lose it?'" Here's what she found.
