happening at kip should be likened to using fertilizer in a field effort lizards does nothing to make the field productive unless it's spread arena or around you don't stack fertilizer in one corner of the fold make sure it is throughout the field to improve the quality of the soil today should come in if school district when all schools will perform excel at the level of kip when we've not done that we've all failed and finally no men and women is an island into herself or himself i pray and hope i anticipate that this
