Kelly Landine is a gifted, devoted teacher at Southbridge High School, deemed so troubled and chaotic that it's at risk of a state takeover.
I've known her for years and once sat in on an English class she taught at Quinsigamond Community College. I was awed by her ease in the classroom and her connection to the kids, many of them minority students. She made them laugh and made learning fun, and it was clear they adored her.
