"SHANNON GREENFIELD, 26, teaches first grade at PS 234, two blocks from the World Trade Center. When the school was evacuated, she ended up taking care of a 6-year-old girl named Alexis. She was running alongside me and I was holding her hand. Her shoe fell off, but she was such a trouper. Then I saw this emergency bus going by. I screamed out, Im a teacher, this is my student, we have to get on! And while the bus was still moving they dragged us on. Everyone on the bus had been in one of the buildings, so they were covered with mud and soot and ash. When we got to PS 41, we had to wait for her father. He worked in the WTCa lot of our kids parents do. I cant believe it, but somehow he found us there. He came in with an oxygen mask on, but he was so calm. He hugged his daughter and said, Hi, sweetie. Im here to pick you up. She said, Whats that mask for? And he said, Oh, its just something I decided to wear to work today.
Two different teachers. Two different takes. The elitist hack that calls himself a "teacher" at Harvard-Westlake deserves to be dropped into the middle of Ground Zero and be put on body bag detail. I'm telling you now, I don't care if the Shannon Greenfield is only a "publick school teacher" - she's the one I want for my child, and she deserves a raise.
Greedy geezers. Gore Voters...
The defining phrase of a decadent society. Oh Lord, please help us to grow up.
