I will never forget that day. I was teaching 2nd grade. How do you explain to a roomful of 7 and 8 year olds what is happening in the world?
I can honestly say that seeing the pictures of the "jumpers" are one of the things that disturbed me the most. I can not imagine what was going through their minds, the only option they felt was open. Maybe its my phobia of heights, but I think of those people and what decision they must have had to come to in order to jump.
