I teach in a self-contained classroom of elementary students with severe behavior issues. They come to me from around my district after they have struggled and been unsuccessful in their home school. The school that I am at has a staggeringly high poverty rate, and my entire class is comprised of high poverty students. Many of my students feel like they have been written off by every adult in their life. They all desperately desire to learn, though, and are hungry for a chance to read. Throughout their lives they've been made to feel like learning is something that they never will be able to achieve, but they are passionate to prove those naysayers wrong.
