The Chicago daily news often talks about the shortfall of money in CPS, the back and forth between the city and Springfield and many other issues revolving around the financial crisis. Of course these are important concerns that have to be tackled but these stories overshadow what I see when I visit the various schools.
Last week I met a CPS Principal and Asst. Principal who were going door to door to inform neighborhood families about the many qualities of their schools. I met another Asst. Principal who, aside from her typical duties, takes student uniforms home to wash them so that the kids can have a clean set of clothes when they attend class. In her Mom sews the clothes of the students!!!
This is but a sampling of the real concern that so very many staff members exhibit every single day. It is the untold story of CPS people who truly care about children. It extends well beyond teaching and learning and it represents the very best of those who labor in our classrooms.
