What a great story- Tough 70-Year-Old Teacher Has No Kids Or Wife, Then Students Expose Real Truth They Must Report www.sharetap.it/7817/ex-vet-teacher-hides-special-secret-from-students/Jim O'Connor is a strict Vietnam veteran and tenured math teacher whom you don't want to mess with. He sports a short, military-style haircut and has sharp, watchful eyes that regularly scan his classroom. After years in the military, he has an authoritative voice that catches all of his students' attention. He also doesn't put up with much out of any rowdy and restless teens in his high school classroom. As an algebra and calculus teacher at St. Francis High School in California, Jim takes a "no bull" approach to teaching and reigning in 32 teenage boys. The students know him for his strict demeanor in the classroom, but when they learned of his nickname outside of the school, they were floored. It turns out, Jim is known after 5 p.m. and on weekends as the baby whisperer. Jim is a TLC Volunteer at Children's Hospital Los Angeles where he has devoted several days each week for 20 years cuddling ill infants. more at the link and check out the video
