What a bunch of hooey!  Why can't the school district provide at home
tutoring or independent study?  That's what is expected in my school
district.  The moms can't return to school with their baby until 6 weeks
postpartum.  We have a Student Parent Support and Childcare Program in
place.  School districts just don't get it!

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four
Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness.
Think of your three best friends.  If they are okay,
then it's you.
