Daily Kup (What I Did on my Reality Vacation)The reining in of the wild children continues. A full 75 math sheets have been completed and I haven't had to (figuratively) have my knee in anyone's back since page 50. They are doing their schoolwork and chores with the understanding that they can do it the easy way or the hard way. The easy way is starting to win.

I wonder who is buried in Grant's Tomb?
