Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said." We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized. Credit: Ira Byock.

José Moisés López was born in the Dominican Republic. He moved to the Bronx at 17 and opened a barbershop. Soon, he became the go-to barber for several major leaguers — especially Yankees players. Yankees manager Aaron Boone told López they're sending him to the All-Star Game.

I am SO tired of the constant focus and resources put on early grades and high school. Do they know the POWER in middle school experiences? The movement/growth that could happen to make high school and beyond better for kids? So ANNOYING.
