Last week, my students didn't believe someone like Jerry Balone - who spent 37 1/2 years in prison for murdering three people in 1973 - was capable of redemption. After he spoke to the class today, the students lined up to take pictures with Jerry (in the middle) and asked if they could friend him on FaceBook. It was a great "teachable moment" day and reminded me why I love teaching.
