Talk of the halls

Edward Little High School teacher Erin Towns chuckled over the talk in the halls she overheard Dec. 19.

Her students were telling each other: “Kim Jong! Kim Jong, he died, he died!” It wasn’t the normal hall chatter, she said.

She explained. On Dec. 16 in class she talked about North Korea and Kim Jong’s dictatorship. Students paid attention and noticed in the news when his death was announced.

As it turns out they learned about him on the day he died. Towns was amazed and a bit unnerved by the coincidence. “Maybe we shouldn’t talk about any other leaders right now.”
