Thank you so much for allowing me to see your show. I have been teaching for 15 years, both as a permanent and substitute teacher, exclusively for LAUSD. I have be tempted to leave many times because of the excessive and damaging encroachment of politics on the field of education. Year are year, I see teachers and students at the mercy of those who govern education. I got into teaching initially, and have remained in teaching solely to be apart of the students' lives. I wish to always be at the heart of their daily issues, whether it be social, academic, or personal. I want to struggle with them and help them sort things out. Your play gave me a renewed sense of encouragement and hope. What I do everyday is right, and where I belong in life. Your play confirmed that for me, yesterday. I wish you continued success as an actor and educator. You have certainly made good use of the talent and gifts God has given you.
Gratefully yours,
Ralph Lopez, teacher LAUSD
