Are you aware this is what the Minnesota Legislature has instituted in our state school systems?  This is the new math that they feel will put us ahead of other states.  What do you think?

Transparency you say, keeping campaign promises, clearly not.

Do any of you grow cousa squash?  I am going to grow them again.  We had a neighbor some years ago who was originally from Lebanon.  She was the best cook I have ever known.  She grew cousas, picked them young and stuffed them with a concoction of ground lamb, rice, tomatoes and a pinch of cinnoman.   Young zuchinni work as well. There are a few other spices involved also. If anyone wants the recipe I think I can dig it up, although I was never able to match her results.
