MEMPHIS, Tenn. (MyFoxBoston.com) - A picture sent to FOX13 in Memphis, Tenn. shows an elementary school teacher taking the time to walk children home from school, and it is making the rounds on the Internet.
Carl Schneider, a third-grade teacher at Whitney, told FOX13 that he and two other teachers, Auriel Rolle-Polk and Kevin Sullivan, walk children home from school every day.
Chris Hill, director of communications for the Achievement School District said, Whitney is a neighborhood school. Principal Debra Broughton felt that some of the children needed to be safely walked home from school. A few teachers volunteer to walk them home.
Each of them walks 10-15 children each day.
When it comes to children, Schneider says, “It takes a village.”
