Teaching Southern Appalachian public high school students is the same as teaching students from anywhere on this planet. The short-term goal is to inspire them to want to learn the content for which I am responsible. The long-term goal is to inspire them to engage fully in their lives, and to do so through recognizing the loveliness of learning. Students here range from 9th through 12th grade, from students with foster parents and probation officers to AP English students who dream of Duke, and from the children of Principal Chiefs of the Cherokee tribe, to Hispanic immigrants, to Affrilachians and descendants of the Scots-Irish, all of whose hopes and biase still bear a resemblance to those held by their ancestors. Their definitions of a good life are skewed by the consumerism and utilitarianism that have marginalized the poor for centuries, but they want to know better. And that's where we come in .
