Jerry Abramson visits a JCPS school classroom. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks Mayor Abramson if he would like to lead the class on the word "tragedy." So the Mayor for Life asks the class for an example of a tragedy. One little boy stands up and offers: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him, that would be a 'tragedy'. "No," says Abramson,"that would be an accident".
