Sad.......

It's sad that a Cody High School teacher was murder in his own home the ghettohoods of Detroit. There are lots of Detroit Public School Teachers are trying their very best to get some at risk underpriviledge kids from their broken homes to fine decent 'American Dream' home with some education skills.

DPS teachers had to go through risky obsticles from their homes to school. Some of them even got mugged, or beat up on their way. I heard these reports when I was in Detroit Public Schools long ago. My sympathy to the DPS Cody High School teacher and their families. To all DPS teachers in each district. Don't give up on the kids because they are the keys to keep the human race alive and human civilization going.

Detroit Teacher: Very glad to hear it wasn't you...was worried when I didn't see you post on this thread for a while. My sympathies to to the family and the students and everyone who know this teacher.

I was wondering the same thing, but I don't see where DT has posted.

Wonderful words Danny.... teachers need the support more than ever.

Detroitteacher's profile shows activity as of 6:30 this morning, so I think it's same to assume he/she was not the victim.

Thank you, Johnnny5! Guess I should have thought to check that. Duh!

I am most definately a "she teacher". I wasn't posting because I was more concerned for the kids and was focusing on them. I've put in some long hours the past few days and have been fielding phone calls from everyone I know wanting the "scoop". I have no other scoop except what's been reported in the media and that I have it on good authority that they found his car. Out of respect for Dwyone, I won't be commenting on his life or death in a public forum, other than this: No one deserved to die the way he did.

I do thank everyone for their concern about me, though. I assure everyone that I am fine.
