I would also like to add that if you have any doubt of what goes on in a
classroom volunteer at your local school. You will get an education in more
than one way.
The children in my room have the foundation set that first week. Not only
that I do a pretest that is required by the district.  I missed the first
three days of class this year due to my child being really sick. It took
about a week and a half to recoup.
