94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

One of my boys really struggles with school and grades came out yesterday. He got a B+ in History - that’s so amazing! I asked him how it feels and he said, “Really good, Mom. Ms. P makes it so fun and I really like history.”

Thank you, Teachers - you make a difference every day!
