My students are brilliant! I teach a very diverse group of 10th graders in one of the most under-funded, high-need districts in California. They represent a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and they crave materials that will engage their intelligence and curiosity, but also materials with which they can identify. They are critical thinkers and are keenly aware of the injustices that they face daily and the numerous ways their schools are failing them and their community. We draw from the entire city, so we have students who have experienced the worst of racism and poverty as well as students who live comfortable, affluent lives. They are learning to understand each other and find their commonalities.
