CPS on strike

Ahoy,

The public education system is something that has grown to be very near and dear to my heart. Even though I'm no longer in school, and don't plan on having any more school, my teachers from all my years of education are still my teachers today. I still remember every single one of my teachers from grade school and high school. I have fond memories of my childhood and youth, despite the absence of air conditioning as the CPS calendar rolled into summer. I have had the fortune of attending both a public and private university, which only confirmed my faith in the public school system. I am proud to be the product of public schools, and proud of what public schools have provided for me and those around me.

Although it may be true that this strike does not affect me directly, it is not true that I do not feel for those that are affected by it. I'm grateful that I had uninterrupted school years, and hope that this new contract will arrive speedily and can provide for kids a future full of potential that I received.

graciously schooled,
jt
