The educators who died at Sandy Hook are considered heroes because they died attempting to save the lives of their students. Did their actions put a new level of expectation on teachers ... an expectation that they must be willing to risk their lives on the job? Drew Dawson, Station Manager and Host at WACG-FM/GPB-Augusta, interviewed educators across the country to get their perspectives.

Dawson interviewed an elementary school principal in Arlington, Texas; a school superintendent in the small town of Shelton, Wash., on the southwest tip of Puget Sound; a middle school teacher working in the Boston, Mass., public schools; and Andrew Kemp, an Assistant Professor at GRU's College of Education, who was working at Northern Illinois University when a gunman entered a lecture hall and shot 30 people, killing six, in 2008.
