Teaching on the South Side: Finally!

It's the last day of school. I survived an entire year teaching on the South Side of Chicago. All I have to do is get through today and I have two and a half months of summer bliss laid out before me.

Apparently, the kids here always start rumors that huge fights will occur on the last day, or that they are going to "get" the facutly and staff (whatever that means). This is probably why all CPS expects out of students today is that they show up, get their report cards, and leave.

The sooner that happens, the sooner I can go camping.
