Most of my students are hard-working kids who want to do well and to please others. They come from a variety of backgrounds and socioeconomic levels. Some of my kids are well-off, and some live in very poor neighborhoods, including several transfer students who have come to us from other failing schools. Most of my kids were raised in English-speaking homes, but several come from homes where foreign languages are spoken primarily. We are the English as a Second Language school for our district. I teach two classes of special education students, most of whom have a disability in written language; they have difficulty putting into words the ideas they have in their minds. Our school is not known for it's sports or fine arts programs, but it is known for it's ability to help students who were previously unsuccessful in school become successful, for it's caring school culture and teachers, and for outstanding academic achievement.
