The chicago cubs do something that hasnt been done in over 100 years. Important to Pay Attention at work. Early today starts right now. Good morning. Im yasmin vossoughian. Im frances rivera. A horrifying ideal for so many families. Kids will be returning to school with counselors after a gunman opened fire in a San Bernardino classroom leaving three people dead. 53yearold Cedric Anderson walked into North Park Elementary School telling the desk he was dropping something off for his estranged wife, 53yearold teacher karen smith. He entered her special needs class and began firing, killing his wife and wounding two children who were behind her. Police say he then turned the gun on himself in an apparent murdersuicide. One of the children, 8yearold jonathan martinez, died at the hospital. The 9yearold is in stable condition. Nearly five hours after the shooting the evacuated children were allowed to reunite with their families who had been anxiously waiting outside. Its just like unimagi
Thats one of the areas in which they had the least support, and theyve gotten the least insight. Theyre struggling with, how do i deal with whose kids native language is not english. That is a weak zone ive seen in my reporting. Not to mention kids with special needs. Kids far behind academically. Absolutely. Chris, is this your experience as well . Yeah. Its my experience with whatever state standards weve had in the past as well. I do think that we have a real challenge as a condition tri about what do we do with kids that are below grade level, our current testing structure tests at grade level. So how do we make sure were scaffolding so children can advance and were measuring growth, not just as part of our accountability system. I think these are all things that need to be looked at by states to make sure that special needs students and kids who are behind academically get there. I think we have time for one more question from the crowd. I think well go right here to the front. Sa
