HASTINGS, Neb. (AP) When the opportunity presented itself for Kailey Rayburn to have a voice amplification system, the Lincoln Elementary second-grade teacher didn’t think she was a priority.
“I said I’d love to have one, but I don’t need to be the first on the list because I thought I was a pretty loud person that my kids could hear me well and engage,” she said. “As the speakers slowly came in, they were asking teachers with the biggest classes and the highest needs. So I said, ‘Sure. I’ll try it.’ My teaching partner (fellow Lincoln second-grade teacher Rochelle Andersen) had gotten one and said she loved it and said, ‘You really need to fight to be the next one.’ ”
