More Flavor: Discussion Teacher Tales: Stories from the Frontlines

  • Picture-1_large

With its low salary and heavy workload, teaching can be a tough gig. And the slow decline in respect accorded to tutors and their tutelage only adds insult to injury. After all, it used to be called "the noblest profession." (As Jacques Barzun put it, "Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.") Tonight's program, Teacher Tales: Stories from the Frontlines, reminds us why teachers rule. Join Dr. Robert Boone, founder of Young Chicago Authors, and more than a dozen local educators as they share their personal experiences of teaching Chicago youth.
