Nobody has any idea why (maybe his wife does but there's never been any word). <br /><br />I know that there was depression in his family and maybe that was it, but I remain so angry at him. Angry about him leaving his family and about the students. He was an exceptional teacher and the kids could relate to him in a way that was really important - he was raised as a poor Mexican immigrant (like many of our students) who did well and he was so kind and supportive. Such a role model. And he killed himself mid-year, leaving them reeling. <br /><br />I know I have no right to be angry at him, but I am.
