I once had a student asked me if I liked school when I was their age. I laughed and said,

of course I liked school. I mean, I like it so much I never left. Obviously, me choosing a

career in education and thus never truly leaving school was of my own accord. So for many kids,

school represents a safe haven, the place they come to for food, for warmth,

And in today's case, the backbone of one community is put to the test when a young boy disappears from his elementary school.

The science fair turned to tragedy when after kissing his stepmom goodbye and walking down

the hall, one little boy never made it to homeroom.
