Teachers’ Pets
Ryan Israel profiles some children of Rice teachers
Contrary to previous beliefs, teachers do not live at school. They actually have real homes and families.
Some of the teachers at Brother Rice have children who can be seen riding to school with their parents,
walking the halls of Rice, or hanging out before school in their parents’ classrooms. The Chieftain had
a chance to talk to some of these “teachers’ pets” to learn more about life with a Brother Rice teacher.
