I am in a bit of a bind personal finance wise because I should have gotten out of the business I shut down sooner. 

this is all i needed to see:Business coach Kris Krohn blasted for pulling kids from public school over fat teacher (nypost.com) Ya know, as a holistic health provider and conscientious parent, I'd probably do the same if my child's teacher wasn't a good fit.
