As you know, I teach high school. A couple days after his incident, I was walking down the hall to my class thinking of a million things I needed to do. As I passed the cafeteria, I noticed a group of kids looking very interested in something going on that I couldn't see. At first, I wanted to ignore it, knowing it would take time and not really wanting to bother with high school drama. Then I remembered Beau. I thought some kid might need help, so I turned around and went in. I was the only teacher, a huge group of teens, with two boys in the middle looking like they were ready to swing at each other. I told everyone to break it up, leave the cafeteria, and one of the boys looked so relieved. They all moved on, I talked to one of the boys in the hall and he didn't say a thing. I sent an email to the principal just to let her know. She checked the camera in the cafeteria and guess what? Right before I entered the cafeteria, one of the boys had just punched the other one!! (the one who looked relieved to see me - but he wasn't snitching when I talked to him). Thanks to Beau, I went in. If I had not entered, who know what more would have happened. And thanks to having cameras, the other boy was suspended for 5 days. Hopefully, he wants to graduate and will stop his behavior. So just wanted to tell you how Beau helped someone he's never met! I hope he is doing better and has a speedy recovery! Just wanted to share. . .glorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323922462382664346.post-31898153947327188722011-09-26T10:57:21.273-07:002011-09-26T10:57:21.273-07:00I agree with you 100% I know I want a drink to nu...I agree with you 100% I know I want a drink to numb things. right now my life is in disarray and I find myself thinking about drink more often.
