I teach in an inner city Chicago public school. The school is located in a recently gentrified neighborhood. Low income housing is continually being demolished to make space for people seeking to build condos on inexpensive land. Most of my students live on the very outskirts of the neighborhood in what little remains of the low income housing (hopefully the wrecking ball spares them) and make 30-45 minute trek to school each morning. The school is designed for 1,300 students but in the last few years our enrollment has not exceeded 800 students. Many of the incoming residents to the area surrounding the school send their children to private schools. Unfortunately, a beautiful and historic school is barely 'hanging on by a thread'.
