Those unfortunate states with IDEA grant determinations of "Needs Assistance" (some for several consecutive years), will now be especially hard-pressed to adequately meet the needs of their children.
Sad.

Great song choice!
Sixty-plus years ago, the two "spinster sisters" (my dad's name for them) would give me a nickel to sing that song for them while on my rusted metal swing set. Thanks for the memory, ladies!
Bayani has very good taste, and looks fabulous on that chair!

I once asked a preschool child, when talking about driving, if he knew what you get when you turn 16. He happily replied, "You get to smoke what you grow in the garden!" Kids.
