Urban Milwaukee

The day is almost over at Casimir Pulaski High School on Milwaukee’s south side. Most students are packing up their things to leave, but Sarah Lind is still helping a student struggling with her English homework. “So what’s different about these two paragraphs?” Lind asks the freshman student. It takes some time, but together, Lind and the girl figure it out before the last bell. Pulaski is a full-inclusion school, meaning general education and special education students are in the same classrooms. Lind is a special education teacher who moves from classroom to classroom, helping students where needed. It’s a second career for Lind, a former journalist, that almost didn’t happen.
