I taught with Dawn many years ago in a self contained behavioral program. She was an excellent educator, a devoted mother, a proud grandmother, and a beautiful human being who reached out to help everyone she met. Our hearts are broken; we are devastated. God bless the dedicated educators and the innocent, gentle babies.
This is even more tragic knowing she came from a special ed background. Her school psychologist was also killed. Obviously this was a school that cared about their students with emotional issues. I just hope her successor will honor that commitment.
Meanwhile Bloomberg threatens to fire guidance counselors if we don’t give into VAM. GCs are already working on split sessions here in NYC, So much for caring about children’s issues. But he will fight for gun control. He is worse than Rhee in his self promotion (See Rhee’s statement of condolence).
And Diane, I sincerely hope you will do what you can to foster this issue as well.
