Tee hee. You made me laugh AAAAA, I needed that.

Another annoying thing I thought of a few minutes ago was that the kids don't have books. Remember when you were in school and on the first day you had books checked out to you, your name written on the front page thingy and your parents had to sign a card agreeing that they would replace them or whatever? Ya, they don't have hard back books to bring home AT ALL. Though they do occasionally have sets of books that are for classroom only use, like last year they used some spelling books that I am fairly sure were from when I was in school here 17 years ago. Other than that, they get handouts mostly. Or things that the teacher's have printed off the internet.
