I had to leave my students behind... That?s the blog that got hundreds of responses to a refugee drama teacher? s plea, who then went to the Astrodome looking for students after Hurricane Katrina.? PBS is airing her 30 minute documentary, Unnatural Disaster, Falling through the cracks after Katrina, which shares the four year journey of her former students? tragic and triumphant experiences in the aftermath of the storm and we would like to share this with people interested in nola. This is not just another story about how Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, but a reminder of the need to provide the necessary resources to help our children grow to adults who can contribute to society at large.? Despite the fact that she along with 4,000 teachers were placed on permanent ? disaster leave?, and her husband is a firefighter, they financed the film believing that all these kids deserve a voice.? Diana lends her own until they can speak for themselves telling a story that ?hasn?t been told.??? Viewers will get a glimpse into the world of Diana and her students by viewing the link on the PBS website, http://www.wyes.org/index.shtml or go to www.dianaboylston.com.
