A bumper sticker says, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance." Most people agree on the value of education. The Civitas Institute, a conservative think tank in Raleigh, N.C., just completed a study of the cost. How much does it take to provide a K-12 education? How about $122,478 ?

I'd had one of those weeks last week. The biggest benefit to working from home is that you can be closer to your family.
