I'm late, did you cover states using 999-99-9999 through DMV's/motor voter and probationers?

Did you cover the increase in TB, Chigas and other problems?

Did you cover malpractice and rising insurance/malpractice costs and hospital closings?

Did you cover what would be demanded after (as in the same pay, minimum wage at least/benefits), and it's effects on the employers as well as workers?

Painful paragraph for a former teacher alert:

Social Security/Special Education scams (of which I witness daily), where a parent demands monoligual (not bi-lingual) special ed (which is impossible mostly, that's why it's asked), as a result there's an impartial hearing ($2000 a pop), even if the bi-lingual evaluator found no deficit in the child's speech (most are speech claims); We are told to give them what they want (expensive private school for special ed the child doesn't need), in order for them to take the IEP (Individual Ed Plan) to social security to get checks of $600+ (it doesn't matter, the child's illegal and has a birth certificate from another country... due diligence, the process has started). Note that in a lot of cases, the parents request this also for culture reasons (grandma speaks spanish at home or one parent speaks spanish). We've had parents come in and state "They came because their friend told them they can get private school"... no lie. They stick their kids in mono private special ed for no reason... that's neglect and seriously holds the child back education-wise, nevermind assimilation. If I had to tell you how many kids come to register with NOT ONE immunization... you would be shocked; Like everything else... not our job to report, no oversight.

After reading this, you can thank God i'm not a teacher.

Rant off.
