“Avromi has worked for about 30 min very diligently and with enthusiasm! We are all very happy about it. Unfortunately he couldn’t find a pencil.”

From a first grader, arriving home spitting mad after overhearing teachers discussing their paychecks:
“The teachers get PAID! But it’s us kids doing all the WORK and all we get are LOUSY STICKERS!” “
