ANOTHER FIRST

Well, I've reached another milestone as a teacher ... a milestone none of us want to reach, but one that seems inevitable for some, no matter how hard we fight it.

One of my very first students that I had when I taught Title I was just charged with armed robbery yesterday.

UGH! Makes me sad that I couldn't, along with my colleagues, reach this one. The words of a former principal rings in my ears, "You can't reach them all ... you just can't."

I wish I could, though ....
