I teach drug awareness to 6th graders and anatomy and a little physiology to 7th and 8th graders. The front office deals with all but the worst issues while I teach (normally 2 hours a
Tragic, simply tragic. My heart bleeds for the family. I would like to address the parent connection. I have an eighth grader that can "puke" on demand. He says he needs to go home first, then...
