Torey Hayden Synopsis: Just Another Kid contains remarkable stories of six traumatized children who appeared to be hopeless to some and the incredible teacher who would break through their shells. Torey Hayden faced six emotionally troubled kids no other teacher could make any headway with – three recent arrivals from troubled Northern Ireland, badly traumatized by the horrors of war; eleven-year-old Dirkie, who only knew of life inside an institution; excitable Mariana, aggressive and sexually precocious at the age of eight; and seven-year-old Leslie, perhaps the most hopeless of all, unresponsive and unable to speak.
