We should be used to being judged by administrators, commentators and Newsweek articles, our entire profession criticized in speeches and altered by those who think they have a solution to a system that has no proven answers. This is neither a business nor a factory; these are unique human beings.

Truckface #15  documents LB’s forth year teaching in a Chicago Public high school including the pressures of educating under No Child Left Behind, documents triumphs (assignments crafted by LB’s students, a blonde wig that blurs gender lines) as well as disappointments (persistent gang graffiti that appropriates swaztakas, students that stop coming to class and disappear). Truckface is one of the best zines out there, written with sensitivity, humor and humility toward its creator, the students, and teaching in general.

HELL YES. truckface is seriously one of my favorite zines. there will be copies at milwaukee zine fest (jami i have some more to pass on to you from hwc) and through stranger danger when heather gets back in town!!
