Hi Cheryl,
What you have said here piques my interest.  How do you verify that your son
keeps pace with the slower output?  I understand what you mean about output.
But how do you verify?

Wow, can I relate!  Where are you?  We are in Justin, Northwest ISD.  These
guys fought me in the most underhanded and unethical ways.  I finally decided I
could spend the effort fighting with them, or spend the effort getting my son
where he needed to be.  My son won.  I didn't consider their babysitting
services to be so great.
