SHE WAS ONE OF THE GOOD ONES

By Bob Walsh

There are a lot of idiots, malcontents, incompetents and pervs in the ranks of education in this country today. I have no problem pointing them out. I therefore feel obliged to point out the really good ones when they come along.

Susan Jordan was one such. She was the principle of the Amy Beverland Elementary School in Indianapolis for 22 years. Yesterday afternoon she was out in front of the school as school was letting out and she saw an uncontrolled large school bus jump the curb and head for a group of her students. She ran in front of the bus and knocked several students out of the way. She was killed by the bus. She was the only one killed. Two students were injured on the ground. None of those in the bus were hurt.

Like I said, she was one of the good ones. Really, really good.
