One of my students died yesterday. She was a bright and beautiful 15 year old girl. Although the official statement is that she died of a gunshot wound in her home, the rumors from the students are that she killed herself. She would be in my next period class, and I''m having such a difficult time trying to figure out what to say to the rest of the students. There are counselors on site to talk to any student who needs to, but teachers are supposed to just keep teaching to help get their minds off of it. I just don''t know how we are supposed to ignore that empty seat today. Here I am, falling apart every time I see another one of her friends crying, and I''m supposed to teach my students something. I just don''t know what to do.
