Avoiding the Elephant in the Room
Julia continued to teach while carefully avoiding the elephant that was present in her classroom. She was well-aware of all the whispers and snickers that followed her as she passed through the halls and while on the playground. Even her fellow teachers were treating her differently.
No Broken Rules
Many people began to wonder if Julia was too strange to be teaching. Others also wondered if her behavior would be affecting the kids she was teaching. Some parents even came forward and spoke to the principal. Was Julia going to be fired?
