Teachers join school-closings 'Walk In My Shoes' protest at Fulton Elementary

Fran Hoffman didn't mince words Tuesday afternoon while discussing the collective mood inside Robert Fulton Elementary's East Germantown building.
"We're a little defeated," he said. "We're taking a collective punch in the gut."
Hoffman, who teaches sixth grade, nonetheless grabbed a picket sign and joined about a dozen teachers from Fulton and beyond for a mile-plus long rally aimed at keeping the school open next year.
