Here is a teacher to be emulated. Not for her teaching style, not for her personal life, not for any reason other than her demonstrating what should be the base reason for anyone ever becoming a teacher in the first place: she actively, demonstrably showed she cared about her students, even risking her own life.
Why is this story not front page news in every paper in the country? Had she not done what she did it is entirely possible this would have been another horrified front page "kids killing kids" story. How about dropping this on there: People caring prevents killing.
Here is another question: here is a kid who just, by his own admission, tried to kill other people...and that is what he is charged with. Why is bail 150,000? Why is there bail at all? It seems to me he constitutes a clear and present threat to the health and well-being of others. I, for one, don't want to see him on the street. But that's just me.

"I think anybody else would have done it," Fagan told "Good Morning America." "I look at the students as if they're my own, and I'm sure the teachers at my daughter's high school look at my daughter as if she's their own."
Does anyone in Portland or the surrounding area believe that? Because as far as I can tell all the teachers areound here care about is the paycheck. Now granted, I have had no direct contact with any public school teacher... ever that I can recall, but that is certainly the way they are represented in the public eye.
