Earlier that day, the class of twenty-five witnessed a suicide and watched helplessly as one of their own fell victim to a heart attack. Despite the best efforts of every teacher and counselor present, the children could not be distracted from what they had witnessed; they sought answers. We realized that our role wasn't to make them forget about death but to help them cope. And so we faced it together, knowing that the call to teach often transcends the confines of the curriculum."
