First of all, a huge congratulations goes out to Mitch, who finished his eighth year of teaching (and first year of teaching in Chicago) yesterday. I’m so proud of him. Teaching in the inner city is an extremely demanding job on all fronts, and switching schools (and cities) is beyond stressful and emotionally taxing. While the year had its fair share of ups and downs, Mitch did an amazing job with his students. He helped them jump two grade levels and pass the state math exam–something they struggled with in years past. He also formed some amazing bonds with his kids, and made math fun.
