My students are great kids that are often misunderstood. They are students with emotional disturbances. They can be wonderful learners and people, but at this time in their lives, they struggle to control their emotions. All of my students have disabilities that are hard to see but still affect them. Many of my students have ADHD, which makes them wiggly and impulsive, but they still want to learn and grow. It's just very hard for them to sit quietly in classes. Unfortunately, they also have trouble regulating their feelings, which can push people away. But these students are crying out for attention, love, and acceptance. Some of my students come from troubled homes and that adds to their emotional problems. We are in a school district that has been struggling for the past few years financially and our parents/students are economically challenged.
