No Child Left Behind
Looking at the budget of the 2017 School Year, I came across something interesting. Did you know that 2017's budget is $69.4 billion dollars in discresionary funding, and $139.7 billion in mandatory funding for the US Department of Education. That is up $1.3 billion over last year, and a total of $209.1 billion. Does this make sense to you? Where does all the money go for this budget?

Creators.co, In Memoriam: Live “On” And Prosper
26 October 2017 To say I am devastated is an understatement. I am still in complete shock. I've already formed a bond with these beautiful people (and the company at large) in the few months I've spent working here, and I genuinely can't imagine having to move on to something else.

Bad Teacher?
From a very young age, we're taught or under the assumption that in an academic environment, the teacher is always right. We never seem to question this concept until we reach middle school or high school when our adolescent years come storming in and giving us the irresistible urge to question authority. However, this is an age where we're also the most naive. It's only when we grow a bit older and gain a better sense and understanding of the world that we start to see things as they truly are.

Which Is the Best Credit Card in UK to Clear off £3000 of Debt?
According the a survey by consumer watchdog Which?, a quarter of British adults could only afford Christmas by borrowing. Three in twenty are still paying off debts from Christmas 2012 and four in ten adults admitted to using credit cards to buy essentials such as food during the festive period. According to a separate study, Britons have an average credit card debt of just under £3,000. It is estimated that over 2.5 million adults will take longer than six months to clear the debt they accumulated from their Christmas spending. Assuming you had an average level of credit card debt, what would be the cheapest card to use to pay down that debt? With credit card providers falling over themselves to offer ultra-long interest-free balance transfer deals, here we will look at which credit card would provide the cheapest way to clear this level of debt.
