Imagine if we could provide kids with even a portion of this joy, every single day, when they experience learning at school. #LoveKids

I saw a few videos on TikTok where a few teachers mocked certain "bad Christmas presents" like dollar store trinkets, cheap mugs, or hard candy. And I watched with a mix of sadness and anger as they carelessly unboxed their stashes of gifts. When a child thinks of you enough to bring you a gift -- no matter how inexpensive or common it may seem -- the gesture itself is a gift. That child is saying, "You matter in my life and I want to give you something." When a teacher mocks this gesture, they're not mocking a gift. They're mocking the gesture and the heart of their students. Fortunately, most teachers aren't like this. Most of them cherish all gifts they receive. When I left the middle school classroom after 12 years and moved into higher education, I finally got rid of my massive collection of dollar store trinkets and cheap mugs. I knew my students. I knew that these items weren't cheap given their parents salaries. I knew how big of a gesture it was that a supposedly jaded 8th grader would hand me a mug of generic hard candy and a thank you note. And although I eventually cleared out my classroom and threw away a few dollar store mugs, I kept all of those notes in a box as a reminder that I had made a difference even when I couldn't see it.

For those who have no idea about this The queen is responsible for laying eggs and producing pheromones that keep the colony cohesive and productive. However, sometimes the workers decide to kill their queen and replace her with a new one This can happen for various reasons, such as: *The queen is too old or weak to lay enough eggs to maintain the colony’s population. *The queen’s pheromones have diminished and the workers no longer recognize her as their leader. *The queen has produced defective or diseased brood that threatens the colony’s health. *The colony is under stress from external factors such as predators, parasites, or lack of food *The queen is damaged or injured by accident or by the beekeeper The workers kill the queen by a process known as balling, where they cluster tightly around the queen and generate heat to raise her body temperature until she dies. This is not a form of stinging, but rather a form of suffocation. The workers then raise a new queen from one of the existing eggs or larvae in the hive. The new queen will emerge after about 16 days and will mate with several drones (male bees) to ensure genetic diversity. The new queen will then take over the role of laying eggs and producing pheromones for the colony

Bees kill off their queen 😳

Parents, When you meet your child’s teacher in the coming weeks, be sure to hug and thank them. I guarantee if you were to drive by any school right now, you would find 10+ cars in the parking lot. Teachers are tirelessly working off the clock to perfect every little detail so that your child has a wonderful school year. Teachers, you really are incredible and you make the world go round. Thank. A. Teacher.

1/9 The outcry over Florida's African American History standards is absurd. That happens to be my academic field as a historian; I use to write extensively—including curriculum standards—on the topic. So I took some time to review Florida’s. The bottom line: they are excellent.

Still one of my absolute favorite moments in television. Will nailed it. And God bless the uncle Phils who step up for those without good dads.

Men are worried that marriage will leave them with “only one woman” for the rest of their lives. That’s not true. I fell in love with a 19-year-old rock climber, married a 20-year-old dog groomer, started a family with a 24-year-old mother, then built a farm with a 30-year-old homemaker. Today I’m married to a 33-year-old woman who has joyfully endured 4 babies, 3 miscarriages, and a chronically ill husband. If your mind is healthy, you’ll never get tired of “one woman.” You’ll actually become overwhelmed with how many beautiful versions of her you get to marry over the years. Don’t say no to marriage; say yes and keep saying yes until the day you die.

Well done, Ft. Worth PD. Thank you for protecting constitutional rights while maintaining peace and order.
