Come for the learning, stay for the gargantuan lesson in stupidity.

My son has been going to a Montessori school for most of his student life. This is a local school, starting off very small and gradually growing over the years. In the latest list of Fcat scores The Kid’s school was ranked number one in both math and English. No other school [...]

Hubba Hubba
