I am a 10th grade English teacher. I recently moved to a wonderful new school with many bright students and great staff; a school which is severely underfunded. My class and focus is on modern and classical literature. However, those books present a great challenge for my students. We are an inner city school whose population are high need students who are at high risk of dropping out due to lack of academic skills. The lack of resources is discouraging to the students and to the teachers as well. It also makes the educational process difficult.
