What goes up, must come (partially) down. That’s the lesson from Figma’s IPO, which saw the company price at $33 per share and soar to $142.92 in its second day of trading.

I’m Sam, I’m the curriculum director at Gregorio Perfecto High School in Manila, Philippines. I’ve been an educator and administrator for just over 25 years. Our school is spending a good amount on edtech, but I don’t feel like we’re getting the most out of it. I’d love to learn from everyone what is working for them. Thanks!
