If you say so.
Sullivan sounds like Austin, the first high school I attended -- totally out of control. It appears that anyone who graduates from there is to be commended. With all that drama going on, it would be a good guess that very little is being learned or taught in the classes.
Top blogger Tom Mannis covers the Sullivan High School mess.
I am so glad that our tax dollars are going towards giving these hoodlums a place to beat up on one another, to recruit soldiers to gangs, sell drugs, and most likely fuck.
Anyone who teaches at any Chicago public school must either be insane or a saint. I know that I would never do, not for all the money in the world.
I was a substitute teacher for a year with both the Chicago and Evanston school districts. While I never had assignments in Chicago schools (which was probably a blessing), I can truly say that being a sub at Evanston High School wasn't exactly a picnic, either.
Over the weekend, I was talking to my pastor and his secretary. Both stated they were going to homeschool their kids when they have some. They pointed out problems, including the ones at Sullivan, as the basis for their decision. "As a Chicago Public School grad, I don't blame you," I told them.
