Jill the tree does not have a soul , fart to your bowels content . <| sep |> I was a traveling bum for a while . Ate food out of trash cans , smoked cigarettes off the floor , didn ' t shower or change clothes for about 3 months . Didn ' t brush my teeth , slept wherever I could find a dry floor . I smelled like mold and camp fire . goddamn was I fucking dirty . One of the greatest experiences of my life . <| sep |> Food , housing , transport medical care . The only reason inflation wasn ' t higher was the reduced cost of technology and apparel . <| sep |> At least in Colorado , charter schools don ' t receive equal funding to standard public schools . They receive the per pupil funding from the state but don ' t receive mill levy funding unless the district specifically allots it . My kids ' charter school is in a district that does not allot mill levy funding to charters , we end up having very aggressive fundraising as a result . The teachers are not paid as highly as teachers at public schools due to the funding differences , but we ' re lucky that we ' re able to pick up some student teachers that did their internships at the school so they could be evaluated before hiring .
