My son was feeling sad a bedtime, so I suggested that he write a list of all the good things that he has. He’s now gone to sleep feeling better.

I know many teachers who've paid out of their own pockets to buy books for their classes, because their school budgets can't run to books any more. The underfunding has been chronic for years & that's why teachers are striking. No-one cares more about children & their education!
