I am a 5 year old kindergarten teacher. Our students come from high poverty households. We have the 2nd highest unemployment rate in the state. Parents struggle to make ends meet and to provide for their children. Many of our students come to school having never been to preschool or even daycare. Many have been at home being cared for by grandparents or parents who themselves have limited education. Some of our children do not know how to hold a pencil or even recognize the letters in their own name. Our school is over 75% free or reduced lunch and we are a Title 1 school. We have the highest teen pregnancy rate in the state. Our district has been hit hard with budget cuts this past year and lost positions due to the cuts. These cuts made our class size increase. Higher numbers make it more difficult to spend extra time with students who may require more one-on-one time.
