The Media Comes Calling
By Monday morning, Mrs. Higgins was a minor internet celebrity. Local news stations were calling the school, wanting to interview the teacher with the “savage” students.
The principal, initially confused by the attention, saw the positive spin and allowed a news crew into the classroom. The kids were thrilled. They didn’t fully understand the viral nature of it, but they knew they were on TV because their drawings were “awesome.” They sat up straighter at their desks, ready for their close-ups.
