When they arrived at Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge on Tuesday, doc- tors asked if she might be pregnant. She said no, and doctors began preparing her for X-rays. But after some observations, doctors changed plans and began prepar- ing her for an ultrasound. Michael Jaegers tells WXIA-TV doctors told him his wife was pregnant — 38 weeks pregnant to be exact. He says there are no words to describe being told you’re having a baby — in 30 minutes. At 3:50 a.m. Wednesday, Shaun Jude Jaegers was born. At 7 pounds, 3 ounces and 19 inches long, he appeared to be very healthy — even without any prenatal care. 2. ATLANTA: A Georgia principal is among the recipients of a federal educa- tion award recognizing school leaders. Judy Armstrong, principal of St. Thomas More Catholic School in Decatur, received the Terrel H. Bell Award for the school’s response to 440 students displaced by Hurricane Katrina. U.S. Secretary of Edu- cation John King says the award goes to “transformational leaders.” The award is named for the second Secretary of Education. The seven recipients will be honored at a ceremony in November. 2. ATLANTA: Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies are teaming up to help people dispose of unused, unwant- ed prescription drugs. The Drug Enforcement Administration is holding its 12th National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day until 2 p.m. Saturday. The agency says the event allows people to get potentially dangerous drugs out of their homes and can help prevent prescription drug abuse and theft. There will be drop-off sites across the state. Georgians can access a database where they can type in their zip codes to find the nearest spot by going to the DEA’s website, clicking on the “Got Drugs?” icon and following links. The DEA says Georgians turned over 8,853 pounds of unwanted or expired medication during its last drug take-back event in April. 3. JONESBORO: Police are investi- gating a deadly home invasion involving children in Clayton County. Officers found an 11-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy shot to death inside a house in the Marlborough subdivision in Jonesboro Saturday morning. The two were siblings. WSB-TV reports there were several other children, as young as 6 years old, inside the house at the time. They were not harmed. Police say it appears two families live in the home but no parents were there at the time of the shootings. Clayton County Police Chief Michael Register described the incident as tragic and senseless. He says there are no sus- pects at this time, but police are investi- gating several leads. —Associated Press IN THE STATE South Carolina Florida Numbers on stories correspond to map locations.

By ROB NOVIT [email protected] For more than 20 years, Claire Hughes has relished her professional work as an educator, most recently as a professor in the School of Education at College of Coastal Georgia and as a researcher. She focuses on strategies for her students to help them meet the varying needs they will encounter for their el- ementary-age kids. Specif- ically, she has studied the issues faced by children who may be gifted, but have dificult-to-detect learning disabilities that impede their progress. In 2015, Hughes was se- lected as the recipient of a prestigious Fulbright Schol- arship. Last spring she com- pleted a three-month visit to Greece, working with her sponsor, Vasiliki Resnavi, a professor at the University of Patras. “I wanted a global per- spective,” Hughes said. “We have kids from poverty and disabilities here, those who don’t it into the mainstream. But what happens when you get thrown into a different culture? I was curious what the mainstream looks like in that culture.” As her work progressed in Greece, Hughes realized she would bring back the unexpected. Like most Americans, she knows that Greece remains in dire inancial straits, but she could not have imagined the desperation of its peo- ple. The teachers there have been hit hard. They have minimal wa- ter or electricity. There is no money for toilet paper; teachers must bring their own. The buildings are fall- ing down, and few books exist. Many college students remain for up to eight years to earn graduate degrees. They are afraid to leave, as they almost certainly will not ind work. Yet the teachers continue to teach, Hughes said. She is awed that they remain sassy, funny and strong. Strug- gling refugee children arrive at school, and the teachers keep teaching, despite being extraordinarily stressed. “How do you stay so te- nacious and resilient, even when things are falling apart, when your fami- lies can’t afford things?” Hughes asked. “Yet with all these terrible things, you can make a difference, even when you’re teaching toward a future when the kids may not get jobs ... How can they ind that source of stress and still ind the sources of happiness?” That’s a major worry in U.S. education as well. Hughes is pleased that CCGA has held steady with its number of education graduates over the past ive semesters. Yet nationally, the number of prospective candidates has dropped from six million to four million, Hughes said. It’s generally recognized that teachers are most likely to leave in three to ive years. Stress issues are a source of ongoing concern and research. The Fulbright U.S. Stu- dent Program’s role extends beyond the research com- ponent. The program was established in 1945, intro- duced by U.S. Sen. J. Wili- lam Fulbright. According to its website, “the fundamen- tal principle of international partnership remains at the core of the Fulbright mis- sion.” Hughes is grateful that the foundation reaches out to smaller colleges. Its for- mer participants include 54 Nobel Prize winners, 82 Pu- litzer Prize recipients and any number of heads of state and government. The United States history dates back 240 years, which of course pales in compari- son to Greece and its origins that go back as far as 2000 B.C. That extraordinary history can be found every- where, virtually all of it ac- cessible to a worldwide pub- lic and as a source of pride to Greek citizens. In a way, the teachers in Greece relect the entire country as its people con- front their insurmountable debt and other political is- sues beyond their control, Hughes said. “They look back to thou- sands of years of culture,” Hughes said. “They know this shall pass, that ‘life is rough, but we will endure.’” Fulbright trip resonates with CCGA professor By KATHLEEN FOODY Associated Press ATLANTA — Georgians must decide this fall whether the state can take over low-per- forming schools, a proposal backed by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal but iercely op- posed by education groups. For parents, teachers and others, the divide over Amend- ment 1 on November ballots is emotionally charged. Oppo- nents warn that passage will leave parents with few routes to protest decisions made by an appointed oficial account - able to the governor. Proponents argue that those urging a ‘no’ vote are more concerned about adults work- ing in schools than children as- signed to school districts based on their addresses. The Nov. 8 vote is the latest attempt to institute a takeover model already used in Louisi- ana and Tennessee, with mixed results on student improve- ment. There also are parallels to Georgia voters’ approval of a constitutional amendment in 2012 allowing charter schools authorized by a state board. Black voters helped that pro- posal easily pass, despite strong opposition from groups representing teachers. The same organizations hope for a different outcome this year. This week, the an- ti-amendment effort hosted an event featuring civil rights veteran Andrew Young and Atlanta Braves Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. Both men made clear pleas for ‘no’ votes in black communities served by the majority of the low-per- forming schools. And so far, opponents are outspending Deal’s allies on television ads. More than $4.4 million in advertising aired through mid-October, accord- ing to a Center for Public In- tegrity analysis of data from Kantar Media/CMAG. The Committee to Keep Georgia Schools Local, largely funded by teachers’ union the Nation- al Education Association, has spent nearly $2.8 million on advertising.

Fulbright trip resonates with CCGA professor
By KATHLEEN FOODYAssociated Press
ATLANTA — Georgians must decide this fall whether the state can take over low-per-forming schools, a proposal backed by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal but iercely op-posed by education groups.
For parents, teachers and others, the divide over Amend-ment 1 on November ballots is emotionally charged. Oppo-nents warn that passage will leave parents with few routes to protest decisions made by
an appointed oficial account-able to the governor.
Proponents argue that those urging a ‘no’ vote are more concerned about adults work-ing in schools than children as-signed to school districts based on their addresses.
The Nov. 8 vote is the latest attempt to institute a takeover model already used in Louisi-ana and Tennessee, with mixed results on student improve-ment. There also are parallels to Georgia voters’ approval of a constitutional amendment in
2012 allowing charter schools authorized by a state board. Black voters helped that pro-posal easily pass, despite strong opposition from groups representing teachers.
