LB

"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."

Balancing passing as an adult with bouts of body odor and bad skin, LB tries to survive her months as a student teacher of high school English. This issue is filled with funny and awkward stories about day-break bus rides, inspirational students, fist fights, failed lesson plans, stolen essays, and trying to bring life back into one classroom. There are also a few summertime travel stories to unwind as the school year ends. It is about students and teachers learning from one another, creating together, and hopefully becoming better folks in the meantime.
