Had to handle so many upset stomachs and worse. The cartoon is overkill, which is what cartoons do. Teachers in our area are watched and monitored so closely at test time, that they can't give the student help.

Hey, if this is what parents want for their kids....they've got it. Glad some are fighting back.
