Minnesota teacher with cancer continues virtual classes, even during chemotherapy
Kelly Klein is that teacher everyone remembers even during a year she d rather forget. Klein isn t only tackling virtual learning. She s doing it while battling a recurrence of ovarian cancer.
She s in her online classroom every day, even during chemotherapy. She declined to go on leave during her treatment. I was first diagnosed five years ago, and I did take leave then because I was really sick, Klein said. I missed teaching so much.
The kindergartners watch Klein as she goes through treatment. What better way to spend four or five hours than with 5-year-olds. It makes the time pass quickly. It makes me smile, she said.
