Medicaid does not pay enough to reimburse dentists for their services, so more doctors are turning away poor patients. This is bad news for kids. (thanks to Amy P for this link.)
We're all talking about the dad in Cherry Hill, NJ who was concerned because his sweet natured autistic kid suddenly started having behavior problems at school. So, he sent his kid to school with a wire and recorded the teachers bullying the children and laughing about being drunk. (Here's a story about some great special education teachers.)
Jean jackets are back in style!
(Blogging had to take a backseat to writing today. Also shopping for a daybed with a pop up trundle. They're hard to find!)
Apt. 11d 
I have this daybed: http://www.ballarddesigns.com/louis-daybeds/41972?listIndex=5
It’s pretty good, but isn’t great to sit on as a daybed.

Cherry Hill is the only place in New Jersey that I’ve spent the night. Except for Atlantic City.

I haven’t even read the link yet but good for the Dad! My son was bullied at school by his first grade teacher and I was sorely tempted to do just that (and kind of wished I had) because I had the hardest time getting the principal and the school district superintendent to listen to me, to believe me, and to act. Because I had no proof other than terrified kids with a multitude of physical and psychology symptoms and their reports, they had an easy time fending me off.
We did get rid of her but it was implied she had a nervous breakdown because of “parent bullying” (e.g. now I’m the evil mom).
Living with the damage she did to my kid (it’s been two years and he’s still suffering), I am still shaking with rage. It’s not only special ed teachers. Bad teachers can be everywhere. The important thing is to do something, and if it’s a wire, then be it.
