the teacher who found something worth teaching in a dying town
when a fossil discovery gives her students their first reason to feel proud
Sandra Dempsey
Leigh Creek, Australia
Her school lost three families last year when the coal mine shut down. This discovery is the first time in years her students have seen their home described as significant rather than dying. She's wondering if she can convince the university to send someone for a school visit not for the science, but to give these kids a reason to feel proud of where they're from.
