A colleague stands before pictures from home visits at John A. Johnson Elementary the school in Saint Paul where Nick started the PTHVP chapter. But at my school, parents and teachers were working separately. To not have a relationship with our students’ parents felt so wrong. Many of our students’ parents worked multiple jobs, and the hours they worked often coincided with the hours our teachers were available. Entering into successThe Saint Paul PTHVP was realized thanks to the persistence of my union, the Saint Paul Federation for Teachers.
