Struggling to give teachers meaningful raises, some school districts are adding a new perk — subsidized, on-site child care for their kids. In states such as Idaho and Texas, funding for early childhood education is limited, and high-quality, affordable child care is hard to find. So by providing day care, schools hope their teachers won’t have to make the choice between career and parenthood. The American teaching workforce remains largely female, and data shows women are more likely than men to leave their careers to care for children. The child care centers fill another role, too: They help prepare little kids in the district for kindergarten.

There’s nothing quite like receiving a fresh bouquet of cut flowers. And nothing kills the vibe quicker than stinky, slimy, wilted flowers poking out of a vase full of brown water. Bacteria is one of the main causes of premature bouquet deaths. But with proper preparation and care, you can greatly increase the lifespan of your bouquets. Despite what you might have read, smashing the cut ends of flower stems does not increase water uptake. In fact, it would destroy part of the stems’ vascular system. Remove any leaves that land below the container’s water line, cut cleanly and add flower food.
