Hard Act To Follow

Yesterday was the Great American Teach-In. Roll-your-eyes assignment, right? Check out Leticia Stein's story: TAMPA - Betty Boudreaux admits she panicked a little when she saw the military paratroopers in the main office. She thought the Great American Teach-In was a day to "come in and talk about what you love."

Then she learned how three members of the U.S. Special Operations Command Parachute Team showed what they do for a living. They jumped from a plane 13,000 feet above Lowry Elementary School on a cloudless, crisp Wednesday morning.

Boudreaux arrived at her daughter's second-grade classroom shortly after the crimson smoke that trailed from the paratroopers' feet had cleared. She was carrying a Target shopping bag.

"Who loves math?" she asked with an oversized smile.
