A child was slain and three teens wounded by gunfire outside of Juarez HS today. This follows Michele Clark, Schurz, Hyde Park, Kenwood – where my own son attends – as schools near shootings this year, and we are just weeks into December. This is personal. These are our children.
Congratulations to everyone who fought for this.I used to teach in this neighborhood, and those students will always be my kids. Thank you for making their world a bit cleaner!
@roundthewayguy9 @Boyfuckyouok@6figga_dilla@WGNTV if you want a nice lake michigan spot, check out the south shore cultural center. The is a nature area behind it that is beautiful!!
@TaimMazrim@geraldzavala @CTUSpecialEd Also, I have strong memories losing a teacher in 3rd grade. She came down with an illness, and could not return to work. The class kinda lost it, as we didn't have a consistent teacher after that.
@TaimMazrim@geraldzavala @CTUSpecialEd it's not just "oh, my teacher isn't my teacher anymore". It's "I am spending my days in a loud gym with all of the other classes that have no teachers, and I am learning nothing."
@D_Stieber Or if you teach in an area near so many oil refineries, recycling plants, and steel plants that opening the windows also puts everyone at risk.
Told my scholars I might get locked out from virtual school tomorrow by CPS because I refuse to go into the building. 5 minutes later, I called on one of them and she didn’t respond.
Me: “Hey, what you up to?”
4th grader: “I’m emailing the mayor.”
