Postcards from Moral Monday
My mom and dad raised me with a passion for public school. This photo is of my mom, about the same time she was working at Sears to help fund her college education. She taught for over three decades, middle school and high school, French, Theater, History, English Literature, whatever the job market required, as my dad itinerated for the Methodist Church across Texas. She is only 4’9”, and she continues to be a charming force to be reckoned with. Two of her closest, lifelong friends Eva and Jeannie, were also lifelong school teachers. Eva is an expert quilter and Jeannie knows absolutely everything about public school politics in Texas.
