I've often observed people cringe up their face or respond in a way that lets me know they think my job is more difficult than that of other teachers because of where I teach, or that my job is less enjoyable. Actually, I have the privilege of teaching the best group of 3rd graders out there. They are extra special to me because I have had this group since 1st grade. They are eager to learn, respectful, very talkative, humorous, and at times have a little more energy than I would like, but all in all I wouldn't trade them for any other group of students. We belong to a school in Brownsville, Brooklyn. This neighborhood has been deemed one of the worst areas in Brooklyn. It possesses all of the qualities that come with poverty: high crime rate, gang violence, failing schools, limited services, etc. My school is specifically looking at each individual child and trying to find an approach that works best for them. It's not an easy task, but we are committed.
