I mentioned it before that I grew up with this book because I read it as a kid. It’s a staple in neighborhoods that have black and brown demographics in New York City

Everyone reads it. It’s on everyone’s exam, excerpts are used in tests, practice questions. Plus I did share I met Sandra Cisneros a few times. She lives in Mexico but she comes to NY a lot

I did ask if anyone wanted a copy as the book was announced because I could get him to ship it to you! But too late now

I felt like you all didn’t take me seriously.

lol

I have a brother who teaches at a charter school in New York. My partner is an academic, I used to teach too. Until it burned me out

Between the three of us, it’s constant convos about books that represent neighborhoods, race, demographics, sexuality etc

You have to be sure it’s what you want to do. Are you in the US?

Most states now have banned books due to its content. Thanks to conservative groups who support you know who

NY is one of the few states that hasn’t done that. Also, there’s also burnout from lesson planning, unit planning, curriculum maps, working with kids who have low reading scores

Well, thankTrump for that

lol 😂

They shot the ceo of United healthcare not far from where I work
