I'm not an educator, only an individual with no children who is interested in education. I do some volunteer work for education non-profits, so not sure how much help I'd be about budget stuff. Was really just curious when I asked that question.

With that said, most of my knowledge is about Mississippi. We have tons of problems with our public education system. Budget constraints are always a big issue for teachers, and one that might make it difficult to adopt a new program.
