Sorry, I was so fired up I meant to say ” so, are we supposed to be protecting our children with a backpack filled with raw fish”??? I guess illiteracy really is contagious-even via the internet…lol
Exactly…I know this article is old as far as comments go, but…..besides the poor spelling, what in the flipping “you know what” is a freaking “SHEEL” supposed to be?!? I have heard of a SHEILD, but according to an online dictionary a sheel is supposed to have something to do with raw fish….so are protecting our supposed to protect our children with a backpack filled with raw fish?!? (joke-of course)! Really, its not that hard to at least use a dictionary before you try to present an article on a serious topic that ends up being ridiculed over really basic mistakes. I really hope you aren’t getting paid for this cause if you are, where do I sign up???

I think lowering the price would make it more accessible to all students. $400 is a steep price for the average parent to pay.
You should learn a bit about english spelling and grammar before publishing articles.
