Teaching my middle school students isn't just about what goes on in the classroom. These students struggle with self-image, health issues, family struggles, homelessness, hunger, drugs. It is sad to say that our county is in the top 5 for methamphetamine use and manufacturing and prescription drug abuse runs rampant. Why should they feel motivated to come to school and learn? Many of these students feel they have no future, let alone a successful one. Motivating a student to care about their learning in my school means getting them to really connect emotionally and trying to fascinate them through the science. With over 30 students per class and many teachers on carts this can be very difficult.
