Editor's note: This article was originally published on March 4, 2023. It has since been updated. Teaching is an extremely rewarding profession that basically shapes the future of the world. However, teachers are always expected to do more than what their job description requires them to do and they are often not treated fairly. A teacher was put in a sticky situation when a parent was almost an hour late picking up their child. This had happened many times with several teachers, so this school decided to charge unpunctual parents a $2 fee for every minute they are late, reported Bored Panda.

Editor's Note: This article was originally published on September 21, 2021. It has since been updated. Children's early ages and influences shape their vision for the future and that's why having good teachers is so crucial. In a world where inequity is rife, kids understanding the concept can go a long way in course-correcting the future. A 21-year-old third-grade teacher, Aimee, posted a video on TikTok showing how she spells out fairness and equity to kids and it's eye-opening. Not only does it teach kids about existing inequity but it also helps them understand the need for the allocation of resources to address the inequity.

Ah, middle school—the turbulent, unpredictable jungle where tweens transform into teens, and parents feel like they’re auditioning for a reality TV survival show. Picture it: a landscape filled with emotional roller coasters, sudden growth spurts, and a seemingly endless parade of social media trends. As a Gen X parent, you probably survived your middle school years with nothing more than a Trapper Keeper, a landline phone, and some well-worn mixtapes. There were no smartphones to document every awkward moment or social media platforms to amplify every drama. Now, it’s your turn to guide your offspring through this rite of passage, navigating an entirely new set of challenges and milestones.

Do your loved ones consult you regularly when they face a crisis? Intelligence is a branch of psychology that lacks a standard definition.

Sexism sticks around because we're all programmed from a young age to accept sexist norms and roles. One 8-year-old, though, saw through an obvious answer to highlight the sexism embedded in a question meant to draw out a sexist response. The English teacher didn't put much thought into it and created a list of clues for words with “UR” in them. Thinking familiar jobs and weekdays would make it easier, one clue was "Hospital Lady." Instinctively, we think "nurse," showing how deep-rooted sexism links certain jobs to a gender.

Using health data from almost 213,000 Americans who experienced reinfections, researchers have found that severe infections from the virus that causes COVID-19 tend to foreshadow similar severity of infection the next time a person contracts the disease.

In a famous episode of Sex and the City, Miranda chokes on Chinese food alone in her apartment for an agonizing 20 seconds—I counted each painful one—until she finally hurls her body over a box to eject the chunk of meat from her throat. Once she regains control of her airway, she calls Carrie (who screens the call because she’s stressing about Big). After she finally picks up, Miranda shouts, “I’m gonna die alone, Carrie!”
