Pull her out of the classroom. A one-year hiatus from classroom teaching is part of Cindi Rigsbee’s award for being named North Carolina’s Teacher of the Year. Rigsbee, who teaches reading in the Orange County system, is profiled in this News & Observer story. She sounds like exactly the type of person our kids need to guide them in the classroom. Why, then, is she being pulled out? It makes no sense. But then, a lot of things about North Carolina’s public school system don’t make sense. Regardless, my congratulations to Ms. Rigsbee.
