When Education Feels Hopeless by Kate Leo

“Was this one of yours?”
I stare at the text on my phone from a former teaching colleague, the URL underneath it glaring up at me. I hesitate, not sure if I want to click on it. Finally, my curiosity compels me. My finger shakily taps the link.
“Sean Michael Bishop, 17, has been charged with first-degree murder,” the article’s headline blares at me. I read on, my pulse quickening. “On May 11, Bishop was arrested and charged in the shooting of 34-year-old Michael Franken. Bishop was also arrested on weapons charges. Lake Vista police said Bishop was involved in an argument with a woman in the parking lot of Tailgaters Bar & Grill in the Main Street District before Franken tried to stop the fight. Police said Monday that Franken has since died, and Bishop is now charged with first-degree murder.”
