Now THAT would be quite a blizzard.

Not sure about the source, but if this is true and it happens, the Dems would be in a world of hurt in Florida.

Singapore Math is indeed a great curriculum; we've been using it as part of our homeschool program since we started. It introduces the concept on multiplication in first grade, then has the kids learning the 2 & 3 tables in second. (We didn't start multiplication until 4th grade, so I was taken aback a bit.) However, the kids learned the concept and the tables with no problems, so I can't recommend the curriculum more highly.

I'll be taking bets now on no better quote or phrase appearing - anywhere, about anything - for the rest of the year.

Tards kept getting stuck because they didn't know how to drive, I was bumping along I-670 at 45-55 at times. (If the road is 100 feet wide and empty ahead of you, why are you driving at 25 with your blinkers on?)
