First-year teacher Karen Batson worked previously as a journalist in Abilene for 17 years. She’ll welcome students to her business class on Monday at ATEMS High School.
“I just love helping people learn,” Batson said. “As a reporter I was always teaching the young ones, 'Hey, look you need to do it this way.' There’s a certain satisfaction when you step back and you go, 'Hey, look, they’re getting it.' And you see the glow in their eyes. I think it’s wonderful.”
