‘We can’t arrest ourselves out of this,’ says Ald. James Cappleman after Uptown attack at known ‘problem corner’

you should be critically thinking

I do, and that's why I have practical answers, not some elitist crap that wont help anyone. I have mentioned something that would help millions of Chicagoans and those in all major cities, while you deflect and explain it away

People need solutions, not some college 450 course on why the situation sucks and is not their fault.

and if you knew how much I love my students and how much they love me back, you'd be shocked. I aint neva leaving. I love my job and you know why my students love me? They tell me at the end of the year on the last day when I have them fill out a "what did I do right? what did I do wrong?" survey.

Every year the comments are the same, "we like that you're the only teacher who does not lie to us. You tell us the truth. Other teachers you know are fake, you're not."

I could show you the recent year I was voted Teacher of the Year by the senior class, but I dont want you to know who I am, you'd probably try to get me cancelled since you're clearly a performance artist and not someone who has any practical ideas.

Talking about abstinence! Like any 12 year old kid in the world doesnt know about condoms and birth control and how babies are made. Once you threw out the word "abstinence" I knew your ideas were going to be worse than useless

And no, funding for cps schools has never fallen, go look it up. Money is the LEAST of my school's problems.
