A fourth-grader’s behavior was so bad that his teacher Chelsea Haley almost gave up on teaching altogether. So Haley did what she felt she had to do: she adopted the 12-year-old student, and his one-year-old brother.

Haley, 24, joined Teach for America in 2013 to make a difference in a low-income school.
She met Jerome Robinson while teaching at an elementary school in Baton Rouge.“At certain points, his behavior got so bad,” Chelsea Haley told CNN, “I thought, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I can’t be a teacher.'”
Though she struggled to control him, the two formed an unlikely bond. Other teachers would send Jerome to Haley’s classroom because they knew she was the only one he would listen to.
As her two-year experience with Teach For America was drawing to an end, the school principal suggested Haley stick around “for Jerome.” She did, signing on for a third year as a special education teacher.
