My students enter high school with severe deficits in reading, writing, math, and life skills. Many come from underprivileged homes and have responsibilities outside the classroom, including jobs and caring for younger siblings. The majority of my students and their families primarily speak Spanish, making their understanding of high school core subjects like English, math, social studies, and science, difficult. This school is overpopulated and underfunded. This coming school year, teachers are holding classes in computer labs and other unconventional rooms due to lack of space. Counselor and other support staff have offices in closet spaces and music practice rooms because space is so limited. The school is unable to spend appropriate funds to provide adequate materials to address the needs of students and staff because they simply don't have the money at their disposal.
