Like, really? Is the man trying to raise inflation and depress consumer spending?!

This is alarming, and at the same time has a “what did you expect would happen?” quality that I have to admit, makes it hard to feel empathy for the folks being impacted….

THIS IS A KIDNAPPING. AN ABDUCTION. A DISAPPEARING.
Language matters more than ever.

We get that question a lot, Josh! Right now we’re focused on revising PreK and launching our horizontal enrichment resource (Concept Quests)!
