hehe I feel like a dummy for not recognizing that name. (there is a Mrs. Garrett at Comanche though, and I thought her first name might be Sandy) I agree that kids are in school plenty of hours, and that keeping them in the classroom instead of pulling them out for this-n-that would make a big improvement. Have a good day! :)
