“the Greek city-states were as keen on winning battles as the Romans were“

Okay I have no idea whether I drew her the right helmet and armour or not. I just typed in “ancient greek clothing.” (´･Д･)」

Thought this scene would be cute.

Are you gonna make kids wear dunce hats when they behave badly?

Al’s a big ol cheerleader. Not into using humiliation in the classroom cause he’s a total softie cause he wants kids to feel comfortable and confident. His schoolhouse is a safe space. A very important thing to have.

Jokes abt Yao's age that have him protesting- "I'm n o t older than cheese!"

he will sniff with great dignity, and be like, “cheese-making was invented at least 7,000 years ago. i, born of the yellow river, the great giver of life and death, am only 4000 or so.” 

(tho ngl, in the confucian tradition, seniority confers prestige! maybe our old man is torn in between being mad at the kids talking about him being an ancient codger and lying that he was well, actually there to see the invention of cheese. or the wheel, even!)

The First Lady's Library

Abigail Powers started life as a schoolmistress in New York state, and eventually married one of her pupils – future US president Millard Fillmore. The couple, though never rich, acquired a private library of over 4,000 books which was astonishing for the time.  Though Abigail stopped teaching after the birth of their first child, and Millard’s election to the New York state legislature, she never lost her love for learning. Her husband always made sure to buy her a few new books during his travels to cities like Albany, New York, and Washington. So when Abigail moved into the White House, she was horrified to discover that the executive mansion housed not a single book. No library for the president? An outrage.

She got Congress to give the Fillmores $2,000 to start a collection for a presidential library, and Abigail personally supervised the purchase of each item. Maps, reference works, histories, even some novels made their way to the White House’s second-floor parlor, which became the official White House library. The finishing touch was a piano, which Abigail had taught herself to play. Though the room has changed (from the second floor parlor to the ground floor) the White House library is still the most famous legacy of Abigail Powers Fillmore, the First Lady who loved to learn.
