UGH! James! I HATE that, like everything else in this country, the answer is, once again, follow the money! I’m really happy to see the possible outlets of assistance, though, and just like college admission (another issue I have. Don’t get me started.), if you’re willing to spend the time and do the research, there’s a way it can be done.

As a former public high school teacher—20 years—I have seen, personally, how parent involvement is the ONLY thing that can get administrators moving.
