We say ‘Thank you’, but sometimes it’s the only thing we can say…
It’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and there are some cute puns around the office. “Why does a phone wear glasses?” “Because it lost all its contacts.” There are thank you’s, there are little gifts from some students. So we do have … Continue reading

Challenge Day Distractive Thoughts
When this week started, as does every week we publish, we normally have about twelve to fifteen blog ideas running around. Sometimes we scramble those ideas because something happens in the middle of the week and that highlights something that … Continue reading
