We all loved the other GOOD NEWS STORY of the homeless man with the Golden Voice, but todays Great News Story is about Scott Dangerfield, a 22 year old seventh grade teacher from Wisconsin.
He was chosen to be a contestant on American Idol. The judges loved him and he was chosen in the first round to go on to Hollywood. HE DROPPED OUT, citing his reason as fulfilling his obligation to the students in his class. A generous act.
But I think the cause he cites, while very generous is that his display of integrity. The best lesson he will ever have taught to his students is that it is more important to meet your obligations, than take the road to possible Fame and Fortune.
A good share of the news today is the demonstraters in the Wisconsin State Capitol, representing teachers as well as other who are becoming violent and is said to have made a death threat. Scott Dangerfield had less than five minutes in an interview.
Thank you to Scott Dangerfield and other teachers of his caliber.
