Second semester is a month away! Woa, time flies.
First, Happy Martin Luther King Jr day. Especially in times like these, with Laquan McDonald and Eric Garner on our minds. Things definitely need to change. In Chicago Public Schools, teachers (and students) are stressed. The Illinois budget crisis has Chicago borrowing millions at junk bond status. Newer teachers are concerned about whether they'll be RIFfed (Reduction in Force) for second semester. Principals are worried about reprogramming an entire school. Last Friday, half my students were gone. A boycott... or a march... or both. Trying to save our city. It's exhausting to think about... and mostly disheartening. I wonder how teachers can continue to stay in education... especially when they have other options. I'm glad to be in Chicago though. It's an exciting time to be fighting for public education.
