Key & Peele recognizes this, and has a new sketch that every teacher should see.
It's called "TeachingCenter," and it imagines a world in which teachers are treated the same way (and paid the same) as pro athletes are now via a version of SportsCenter centered on teachers.

Honestly, the weights section at the gym can be extremely intimidating if you're not sure what half of the machines do.
I mean they all look EXACTLY alike. How are you supposed to separate the metal chair with the padded seat, from the other metal chair with the padded seat?
Whether you're already an exercise-machine pro just looking to test your knowledge or a fitness newbie looking for some gym education, this quiz will help you learn the names of the machines and what they do.

This 8-Year-Old With Cerebral Palsy Completing His First Triathlon Is Truly Inspiring
Incredible is an understatement, tbh.
A video of 8 year-old Bailey Matthews from Doncaster, England, completing his first triathlon has been shared over 230,000 times since it was uploaded to Facebook at the weekend.
Bailey, who has cerebral palsy, completed a 100 metre lake swim, a 4,000 metre bike ride, and a 1,300 metre run as part of the Castle Howard Triathlon in North Yorkshire. But it was the last 20 metres of the race where this little champion really made his mark.
According to theYorkshire Post, hundreds of people stayed behind to watch Bailey finish the race, clapping and roaring their encouragement as he stepped away from his walking frame to get over the finish line unaided.
“You can see his little face when he came round and saw everyone," Bailey's mum, Julie Hardcastle, told the Yorkshire Post. "That was his way of finishing in style and showing everyone what he could do. It was the response from the crowd that pushed him to do that.”
With the finish well and truly in sight, Bailey lets go of his frame and begins heading for that line...
...not letting a few stumbles slow him down.

Abby Wambach On Playing In The Rio Olympics: "Whatever I Decide, I Will Be Happy"
“Here’s the confusion, unconfused: I don’t know what I’m going to do about Rio next year,” the U.S. Women’s soccer star said during a community event at Citi Field.
"How old do you think I am?" Abby Wambach asked an auditorium filled with 6 to 12-year-olds this morning before throwing out the first pitch at Citi Field. This was the World Cup Champion's very last stop on her WWC victory media blitz before leaving for a much needed vacation, her bags packed and ready to go by the door. The kids in attendance at the Citi Kids event called out their guesses, ranging from 24 to 35 — the correct answer.
"I am soooo old," she joked after revealing the truth. Wambach then asked the room if she should play in the 2016 Rio Olympics next summer. The auditorium's resounding response? "Yes!"

Just minutes before, Wambach was downstairs speaking to the press about that same question. The USA striker responded to the speculation surrounding her Rio decision head on.
"Here's the confusion, unconfused: I don't know what I'm going to do about Rio next year in terms of deciding on whether or not I'm going to go for it. In my mind, I have to believe that if I'm asked to be on the team, I don't know if I can say no," she said. "A lot has to happen between now and then," she added, referencing conversations with coaches and family. The most important thing to happen between now and Rio? A vacation.
"I need to take a vacation, I get to go on vacation tomorrow — actually I get to go on vacation in about an hour and ten minutes [...] I'm excited to just get away, maybe turn my phone off for two weeks which would be amazing."
Olympics or no Olympics, Wambach seemed satisfied that either decision would be her final one. "If and when I make a decision, if I were to not play I would be sure about it. If I were to play, I would be sure about that too. So, whatever I decide I will be happy. Very, very happy."

Beijing Announced As The Host City For The 2022 Winter Olympics
Beijing will become the first city to host both the summer and the winter Olympics.
President of the International Olympic Committee Thomas Bach announcing the winning bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games at the 128th International Olympic Committee session in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Friday.
The International Olympic Committee has picked Beijing, China, as the host city for the 2022 Winter Olympic games. The committee came together in Kuala Lumpur, Friday, and picked Beijing over Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The bids were voted on by a group of 85 participants. Beijing's bid received 44 votes, Almaty's received 40 votes, with one abstention.
Beijing is now the first city to be awarded hosting rights for both the summer and the winter Olympics.
"China is a reliable partner because we always honor our commitment," Wei Jizhong, a senior consultant for the Beijing bid, told the Chinese news agency Xinhua before the vote. "The Beijing 2008 Summer Games are a perfect example."
The International Olympic Committee also chose Lausanne, Switzerland, as the host city for the 2020 Youth Winter Olympics on Friday. Lausanne beat Brasov, Romania for the chance to host the Youth Winter Olympics.
Last month, the committee announced that Pyeongchang, South Korea, will be the host of the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Ronda Rousey Had A Badass Response To Her Body Shamers
“I’m not a do nothing bitch.”
UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion had a kick ass response to critics who feel the need to comment on her body.

In a recent vlog series UFC 190 Embedded, Rousey defended her physique against those who say she's too "muscly," "masculine," and "huge."
Harry How / Getty Images
Listen, just because my body was developed for a purpose other than fucking millionaires doesn't mean it's masculine.
I think it's femininely badass because there's not a single muscle on my body that isn't for a purpose, because I'm not a do nothing bitch.
It's not very eloquently said, but it's to the point and maybe that's just what I am.
DAMN!
