SUPERBOWL SUNDAY

It's really cold outside. I mean really cold. This is a good thing. The last year Chicago won a championship--not counting the White Sox (cause no one really seemed to care)--schools all over the city were vandalized. A school where I used to work was hit hard--almost every room had some kind of destruction.

The news reported more Chicago and state police will be out tonight. My school has an ADT system and I hope that's enough. But the cold may be the best thing of all. This kind of cold will keep people inside for sure.

I hope so. This year we already went through a number of windows. Bullets. Rocks. Other things. Oftentimes a squad car hangs out behind the school in the small hours of the night. I hope they're there again tonight.

A few rooms have been vandalized this school year, a few cars scratched and windows broken, a few teachers hit in action (and one bit in the arm until she was bleeding).

So we're in the Superbowl. I hope the schools survive.
