I imagine your low-performing schools would best the majority of public schools where I’m working.

Our school was designed to be a safe space (a “city on a hill” that provides the tools to break the cycle of poverty). But with the current administration, there are weekly violations of this ideal in both large and small matters.

It made $400m overseas for a number of reasons.

As a Rangers fan, I’m thrilled that you have another player (fuck you Seager) that will torment is for years.

The worst part is the lack of Bovril.

Support means a lot.

Ugh, this week has been a fucking trip. I teach at a charter school in a rather tough neighborhood of a major city.
