MEDIA ARTICLES

Testing the New Teacher
S.F. Examiner, 8/26/98

Nineteen 5th graders swarmed around her. Three boys seated together egged each other on. A handful of timorous types sat patiently, while others giggled and guffawed. In the middle of all this was 27-year-old Christina Velasco, who maintained a composure that belied the daunting reality: It was the first day of school in San Francisco and her very first day of teaching.

Student Discipline Starting Earlier
Contra Costa Times, 7/6/98

An outbreak of shootings by troubled high-schoolers and middle-schoolers marred the last school year. But most teachers will tell you that violent words and deeds show up as early as kindergarten.
