Great read, Great Find

"That Kevin has played a little bit of pro ball and that he is now back here teaching is, I think, a very powerful lesson to our students here," said Liz Ward, the principal of Martinsburg North Middle School who hired Pittsnogle. "All kids in middle school, and this one is no different, they all think they’re going to be pro ballplayers."
And if Kevin Pittsnogle — Mr. Pittsnogle — cannot do it, then chances are that they will not, either.

What a sad message.

Seems like a great guy...

Bought his whole class new Reeboks. Said in the article the town he lives in 65% of the students qualify for free or reduced lunches, and many come from broken homes.
