The Heros in Sandy Hook Elementary
There has been a lot of name-calling and demonizing of teachers over the last few years. The teachers and those who represent them in the workplace - the teachers' union.
The teachers (and staff) at Sandy Hook saved lives. Gave their own lives - standing between the shooter and the children - and died for those children. Young teachers, new teachers - all of them, right down the custodian.
The Stranger Slog has this devastating interview with a first-grade teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary from ABC news. This teacher saved her students' lives and gave them love in what she thought might be their last minutes.
Attached they have a column from the Daily Kos that lays bear all the terrible things said about teachers by elected officials and others. It is an angry column but worth reading.
