Back in Crown Heights, Mr. Waronker says he occasionally finds himself on the other side of a quizzical look, with his Hasidic neighbors wondering why he is devoting himself to a Bronx public school instead of a Brooklyn yeshiva.“We’re all connected,” he responds.
Gesturing in his school at a class full of students, he said, “I feel the hand of the Lord here all the time.”
I wonder what would Jesus have done, had he been a teacher in the 21st century in the United States?
To All:
As education articles appear, please ping me. ( Yes, I know that I might get several duplicate pings, but this is OK.)
After **many** requests to have my name added to SoftballmominVA’s list, I consistently do not get her pings.
I am still convinced that Softballmom is a woman of integrity and there nothing personal is going on here. I am convinced that as a government school teacher she couldn’t possibly have a single petty bone in her body, and is the model of perfect equanimity not only with her students but with non-students as well.
Perhaps she has an explanation. This post was pinged on 2/08/08. Hopefully, by now, she has corrected the problem.
We should all remember that sometimes actions do speak louder than words.
