It's an interesting business to be working in education and partially raising other people's children. I met a woman today who keeps giving her son money and can't understand how he's able to keep buying drugs. Curious. Then I attended a meeting about a student who tried to strangle another kid. I left an hour and a half into the meeting where no solutions had been offered. The other native Chicagoan in the room definitely looked antsy about the situation. We're do-ers more than talkers. Sneakers with skirts to get somewhere fast, strong coffee, fast/concise conversation. Her favorite time to get back to me is immediately. She may be my vocational kindred spirit.
