In fact, it is what it is. If he gives me no reason to get on board... I may just as well stay on the dock. I'm telling you: I am physically unable to watch Obama-style school "reform" unfold day after day and then go home and plan out of state weekends in October so that I can undergo 4 more years of this insanity. It's not going to happen.
