“I’m just really thankful,” she said. “I remember the first time I walked around the block around my house. “I’ve been reflecting on how grateful I am for all my doctors, nurses, and everyone.” I was really stubborn and wanted to do it even though I probably shouldn’t have,” she said. “When the classic signs of a stroke happen you should call 911.” “We need to remember that 10 to 15% of stroke happens in … patients younger than 50,” Majidi said. “I’m just really thankful that I got (to the hospital) so quickly,” she said. That’s the scary part,” Dr. Shahram Majidi, an endovascular neurosurgeon and assistant professor of neurosurgery, neurology, and radiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, told TODAY. “The good part is that stroke is a treatable disease.” “It definitely has profound consequences for the patient because you had a first stroke at a young age and the last thing you want is a second,” he explained. “I didn’t think (stroke) applied to me.” “Our assistant principal came with me and she was telling me that it was going to be OK." Someone informed her that she was having a stroke and she said nothing.

Former housemaster Matthew Mowbray was found guilty of a string of sexual offences against pupils.

He cannot appeal to have the ban removed. At the time Mowbray was jailed, Simon Henderson, Eton's headteacher, said he was "outraged" by the way he had "abused his position of trust and betrayed those in his care". One complainant said Mowbray groped his bottom with a "forceful squeeze", while another pupil said he "felt really uncomfortable and just froze" when he was sexually touched by the teacher.

We simply need legislators willing to stop the scourge of gun violence in America that is murdering our children," she added. Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate? Why do you go through all the hassle of getting this job - of putting yourself in a position of authority – if your answer is that as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives, we do nothing.” The building is secure in a Lockdown Status. Your cooperation is needed at this time by not visiting the campus.” A second hospital, University Health in San Antonio, said it received two patients from the shooting - one child and one adult. Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking they might be shot that day. Mr Ramos, the shooter, is himself deceased and it’s believed that responding officers killed him.”

We need to come together, as one nation, and support Uvalde as they try to heal from this devastating loss,” said Cruz. “We’ve seen too many of these shootings. “For too long, some in Congress have offered hollow words after these shootings while opposing all efforts to save lives. In a tweet, Clinton said that US legislators needed to be “willing to stop the scourge of gun violence in America that is murdering our children”. Enough is enough. Enough is enough.

“But by doing something we at least stop sending this quiet message of endorsement to these killers whose brains are breaking, who see the highest levels of government doing nothing, shooting after shooting.” And then we’re going to be able to ensure the safety and security of our school.” Work with us to find a way to pass laws that make this less likely. The governor said the shooter was a Uvalde resident and U.S. citizen who attended a nearby high school. There are families that are in mourning right now.” Most of the victims were taken to Ulvade Memorial Hospital.

Nashville parents and teachers are calling kindergarten teacher Rachel Davis a hero after she tackled an intruder who raced into an elementary school.

The first student to walk in that day rushed up and hugged her and started sobbing. Davis urged the other teacher, and soon, school secretary Katrina "Nikki" Thomas was outside standing with Davis between the man and the door, trying to stop the intruder from getting in. Davis got a cast on her arm at a Nashville hospital and went home to recover for six days before returning to the classroom. "We just had this moment where we're hugging each other as the tears fell," she said. "She and Nikki and Shay are heroes. "I was shaking so much, and my eyes were really big. The man walked away, but returned, prompting the teachers to start getting their students inside, Davis said. I need to get inside!" "I was in full blown panic, trembling, and my legs didn’t want to support my weight," she said. "I need to get inside! Davis, terrified, planted her 5-foot-5, 130-pound body in front of the door, saying loudly, "No sir! "To play it safe, I said, let’s line the kids up...

While children cannot be discriminated against by religious schools, teachers can. And they know it.

Parents (and legislators) who say they are happy with the status quo might want to listen to their children’s educators a little more closely and consider the impact on them. We need to take a long, hard look at how we do religion in Catholic schools in Ireland. In most countries across Europe, faith formation and the sacraments are opt-in and extracurricular. I had good engagement on the piece from practising Catholics, some of whom see a real benefit of faith-formation and sacrament preparation taking place outside of school. To impartial observers, we are a strange outlier. It devalues the role of teachers in society, expecting them to compromise their own integrity just to “do their job”. This means that a Catholic school cannot discriminate against a child on the grounds of religion on enrolment.

Audra Ritter, a seventh grade special education and English language arts teacher at North Brandywine Middle School, said she was trying to “deescalate” a ...

“I was reinstated from that, and that was it,” she said. Could it be that she happens to be president of the teachers’ union?” said Scott Polk, a high school English teacher, arguing that other personnel matters weren’t similarly disclosed. Ritter said Tuesday she sought out the student because she was trying to find out why she had missed class. She said she was suspended the next day, initially with pay, though her leave is now unpaid. According to the statement of charges from the school district, however, the student was “humiliated and offended” by the incident — which also involved one of her classmates taking the tape and placing it over the student’s mouth. “If a student was showing they were agitated or upset by my action — it wouldn’t happen.”

Superintendent Hal Harrell said the rest of the school year was canceled. Biden said, before noting that in the 10 years since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, which occurred when he was vice president, there have been over 900 incidents of gunfire reported on school grounds. "We're a small community and we'll need your prayers to get us through this." "And don't tell me we can't have an impact on this carnage." They'll live with it the rest of their lives," he said between heavy sighs. Callers told law enforcement that he was seen exiting the truck carrying "some sort of rifle," a backpack, and wearing body armor. The school enrolls about 600 students in second, third and fourth grades. According to calls to law enforcement beginning at around 11:20 a.m. local time, the gunman, who has been identified as an 18-year-old male resident of Uvalde, shot his grandmother at her home before heading toward the school in a large, dark truck. They have domestic disputes in other countries. "They have mental health problems. The shooter is also deceased. And how many scores of little children who witnessed what happened — see their friends die, as if they're in a battlefield, for God's sake.

One of the longest serving teachers in Ector County ISD is retiring this year. Mende Mays has been at Crockett Middle School — and only at Crockett — for 45 ...

It’s very nice being recognized for, I guess, longevity, but for still retaining my passion and having what it takes to make a good teacher because if I wasn’t successful, and my kids weren’t successful, I would have quit a long time ago,” Mays said. They usually have good things to say and their kids have good things to say that their parents have enjoyed being in class and that I was a good teacher and that they learned from me. I’m not doing a good job, then I’m leaving,” she added. “The amazing thing is how she has so much knowledge and yet she still gives me that opportunity to grow. “It’s easy to love them and to show them that you care. You never have two periods that are the same. Students are now teachers that have come back,” Mays said. You never have two days that are the same. The middle schools were previously junior high schools and went from grades six through nine. She’s not just a mentor. And then my eighth grade math teacher is kind of the one that gave me the thought (of teaching). My parents were both in education. But there’s just so much testing now that that makes it different.
