Editor’s Note:  From time to time, we receive an email that it “takes too many clicks” to read an article we are sharing on our blog/newsletter.   This article is one example of one of those times when we must add a little extra work to your enjoyment of this story, so I thought it would be timely to explain why this must occasionally be.   The Southland Times of New Zealand, published this local story that was picked up by Special Ed Post.   Since PediaStaff became aware of it “but for” Special Ed Post’s great reach, it is only right that our blog link to the Special Ed Post article so that they might receive the rightful web traffic they are due before passing you on further to the local news piece.
