School lunch, or teaching in the Bronx, part deux


Joe College-Grad loves teaching his first graders at PS 107 in the Bronx. After one week, he loves the kids, loves their energy, loves their street smarts, and is not dismayed at all by their lack of preparation--many of them don't know the alphabet, numbers or colors. Would that all teachers retained this level of enthusiasm forever.

PS 107's web site needs updating--the events list is from 2001....

And, if you're wondering what the folks working and learning at PS 107 eat, check out the New York City school lunch menu. It looks like the news that many students are of Latin American origin has not reached the folks making food decisions for kids in New York.
