More humor from the Texas State Teachers Association/National Education Association comic book. Stephen is a science teacher at a low performing middle school (is there any other kind?) His children come into the classroom struggling for survival; many are hungry (despite school breakfast and lunch?), or their clothes are torn. Parents are seldom at the school, in part because the principal fears that their lack of education and motivation will spill over into the school. Stephen lacks the necessary classroom resources. He is held accountable for increasing student achievement. Learning is the last thing on his students' minds, as survival and safety take precedence in their lives. My question is as follows: Where the hell does Stephen teach, Somalia?
