She held class discussion earlier this year on "A Modest Proposal," by Jonathan Swift. It's a satirical pamphlet published in 1729 that suggests eating children ages 1-12 years and hunting those 12-15 years for game to help ease the effects of the Irish famine. The discussion led to clarity after one student in Cobb-King's honors class suggested that such poverty did not exist in Pitt County.

From there, students and teacher organized a yard sale held Saturday and a benefit concert scheduled for Monday to help their homeless classmates. Officials say there are nearly 90 homeless students attending Pitt County schools. Windsor man killed in Sunday crash, woman critically injured Show Comments
