Last year we started a Pay It Forward program on the site. The idea of the program was that people could purchase discounted subscriptions that could be given to random students, as well as teachers, nurses, police officers, and people in other important professions to our society.
My fiancée is a teacher. My mom was a teacher for years. I know very well how demanding the job is. You go to work early in the morning, tasked with shaping the minds of the next generation for the next eight hours. You’re not paid nearly enough for the huge responsibility, and yet you’re also having to spend a lot of your own money on supplies for your students because you don’t receive nearly enough funding.
