As a teacher in an inner city school, people have their own stereotypes about what goes on in a classroom. However, you would be amazed to see that complete opposite in my classroom. My students are the most generous and hard working students. While they all come in with their own struggles outside the classroom, they do not let their struggles define them. However, my current classroom is in a trailer that is next to the school. While this is not the ideal situation, my students do not complain with the lack of supplies we have and not even being inside the classroom. I hope you consider donating to my open projects that will help to benefit my students for years to come.
