A longtime Toronto teacher has been fatally stabbed in Costa Rica in what local media say may have been a mugging. The Toronto District School Board confirmed that Bruce McCallum, a math teacher on sabbatical from his job at Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute in Scarborough, died in the South American country. TDSB spokeswoman Shari Schwartz-Maltz says McCallum was known as a talented math teacher who had a knack for teaching students who struggled with the subject. “His energy and work ethic were an inspiration to us all,” Richards-Sauer says in her letter to parents. He only wanted to do the one thing he loved over there but it was taken away from him, it’s so unfair.
