DeKalb’s “consummate educator”
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Sorry for the late post. I had an out-of-town assignment, and just got to a computer. Kristina Torres has a profile of DeKalb County’s teacher of the year. Here’s the link.
Anthony Stinson, an Alabama farmer’s son, told Kristina his parents instilled in him and his nine brothers and sisters a belief in education’s value, despite their humble roots in a “podunk” town. The oldest child went to college to avoid a life in the fields, and all nine followed. All ten children ultimately ended up in education.
I can’t really think of a question … I just thought it was a nice story.
Have a safe Labor Day weekend!
