Mr. Teacher

Teacher. Teacher with a beard, but mostly student with a beard. Chugs coffee. Steals chocolate. Sometimes tells stories...

If you’re making art today, thank you.

‘Hardworking immigrant’ is dehumanising too. It implies their only value is labour and not personhood.

It actually sets immigrants up to be exploited since they constantly need to demonstrate their value rather than being granted it by default.

Pope XIV was raised by Mildred Prevost— a Chicago public school educator and a school librarian. 📚

That's right — the values shaping global leaders start right here in our classrooms and libraries. That's why we fought so hard for a contract that increases the number of libraries and librarians in Chicago Public Schools.

Librarians are essential. They nurture curiosity and build critical thinkers. Every school deserves a fully funded library and a trained librarian. Our students deserve nothing less.

This should be a story on all Chicago media “Two Kenwood students once again won the Urban Debate National Championship (UNDC), bringing home the gold for the second consecutive year.”

A subculture you probably didn't know about: south side Chicago water polo culture.

You should go see this exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago right now. It had me tearing up.

From 1619 to 1865, the US benefited from over 222 million hours of unpaid, dehumanizing, forced labor by enslaved black people per scholars. This labor- primarily the production of tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton- would be valued at over $97 trillion today. Built off the backs.

Five years later, this is still one of the best outfits I've seen in my life. Chicago paletero Don Rosario Del Real, who was 70 years old at the time of this photo.

Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan is crying on live TV about how we have been educating our neighbors on their rights. Organizing works.

Don’t fuck with Chicago.

Standardized testing and teaching to it contributes to these outcomes

Pls STOP telling me that housing for students should not be in our contract demands.

Congressman, as a former CPS teacher, I had some thoughts on this, particularly on who is looking out for our students

[Liz Winfield @LizzyWinfield]

My fav nonsense reason for keeping Pedro has got to be the cries for “Stability” while staff at any CPS school knows that poorly resourced and overcrowded schools or schools run by NFP charter orgs that can close on a whim are the real destabilizing forces which the CEO upholds

[Dave Stieber @D_Stieber]

The anger should be directed at a CEO who was given opportunities to be transformative but hasn’t. The anger should be at CEO who refused to step down. The anger should be that we have a CEO who runs our schools. The anger should be that Lightfoot gave Martinez this contract.

✍️ “Shame on the Tribune Editorial Board for publishing such uninformed dribble.”
Hannah Baker, a second-grade teacher, breaks down the often hidden realities of teaching while addressing the Tribune’s recent editorial head-on.

Instead of questioning teachers’ commitment, maybe we should question CPS leadership’s priorities. The best schools are built on respect for the professionals who make them run and investments in the students they teach.
