There are no happy endings. Endings are the saddest part. So just give me a happy middle and a very happy start.

Possibly the most frightening talent of the brown bear is an uncanny ability to blend seamlessly into the environment in an almost chameleon-like manner, allowing them to easily surprise their unsuspecting prey.

Something people rarely talk about:
US Teachers have too much face-to-face time in front of students.
In fact, the US has among the highest rates of teacher-to-student face time in the world. It doesn't give teachers enough time to plan, grade, or assess well.

What I don't understand is how the United States spends 154 hours on math instruction each year, 20hrs more than the international avg, & 40hrs more than high scoring EU countries like Finland & England.

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”
