Love the Desperate Housewives reference!!! (I'm into that show too!!!) I'd like to know your "secret" too (as I am nosy that way) but I understand your not wanting a paper trail.

I like the idea of modifying classes on case by case basis for all kids. I'd love to see flexibility within all grades so the kids could move freely to the classes they need in whatever grade/level is appropriate. Of course, I don't think that would ever happen as it would be too confusing for the administration, but think what great educations our kids could get if they were placed where they need to be in every subject.
