For the simple reason it will be a great tool from all angles especially from the child's point of the view. I know first hand experience what my children were facing several years ago with my spouse and how the teachers was not really comprehending what our children were facing and because of lack of knowledge, they waws trying to force our children out of regualr public school and place them in an alternative school. But I was persistant and made several appointments with the principal of that school and shared with the principal what we as a familly was facing at home. To summ it up, I end up being a spokesperson for that school in conjunction with the principal and staff and we was able to help out a lot of other familes who did not know how to get things addressed and were able to assist them with other services in the community. So yes, I think it needs to be addressed and not swept under the rug because people are hurting and our economy is not helping the major issues that these familes are facing on a daily basis. My prayers go out to these familes. In closing, I don't want special arrangements made for these families, but I just would like to see our country as a whole be there for these familes just like their loved one was fighting for the many things that we do here in this country whereas in other countries people DIE for the same thing.

I'll bet those Alabama officials must feel pretty embarrassed by now...not to say they must know they ticked off the wrong parents! It's great that there are people like you who will not only fight for what's right, but are able to do it intelligently, and powerfully. I would not have known what to do had all that happened to me when my son was in school CJ. Always thinking of you, Emily and the kids. Wow…from one extreme to another.
