Isn't the shutdown ending today?

Hopefully, but as of right now the gov is still not open. To your point above, its going to take days to get folks back to work and paychecks back on.

What is a lifting gym?

Mine are all growing back out for Spring - I have around 20 milkweed plants. I checked yesterday and I currently have about 30-40 tiny caterpillars already! This feels too early? My plants are only just growing out.

I guess I'll let nature take its course but these suckers are going to trim my plants back to stalks and be out of leaves in no time. Anyone have ideas on why they are here so early and if that is an issue? I'm going to feel bad when they run out of food. I have forbidden myself to buy any more plants, too.

If you think traditional public schools use 100% of tax payer dollars properly, ethically and honestly... sadly you would be mistaken.

Accountability is a problem with ALL public schools - including charter schools. In this instance, Impact Charter's board should also be held accountable. It is laughable what this woman has been allowed to do under a board who should be getting financial reports monthly.

Charter schools already have the same accountability. They also don't need to come up with their own funds... it is a formula set by the state and is the same funding a traditional public school gets.

As you should have. It always makes me chuckle when I see grown men from Southern Louisiana state how they would never dare ride the subway in NYC.
