These students need to read a book that they can relate to; help my Tigers become life-long readers. Though I am a Minnesotan, this past year I have moved to Mississippi to teach seventh and eighth grade reading to the Tigers. I have decided to come to this particular region because of it is a very high-need community. Before I came, here are the statistics I was shown: - This Middle/High school ranks 167 out of the 190 schools in Mississippi. - The school is 99% free and reduced lunch, and offers free breakfast. - Last year, only 32% of 7th graders and 20% of 8th graders met or exceeded the standards on the Mississippi Curriculum Test (MCT2). - This school is known for having one of the highest pregnancy rates in the country. Though I braced myself for the many needs of my students, nothing could prepare me for what I saw and experienced when I actually came to the school.
