I have very smart and intelligent students that are limited to what they see and do because of the neighborhood they live in. Most of my students live in apartments in Texas. My student are very interested in learning and expanding their minds but are denied many learning experiences because of their home life. They live in a low poverty area, parents don't spend enough time teaching and showing the children how to act. The only meals some of my students get is at school. The children do not get to explore outside the apartments they stay in. My students are not exposed to real world learning experiences. My school is considered a community school but the parents feel threaten by the staff because of their educational background. Most of the parents in this neighborhood have dropped out of school and is very young. The parents depend on the school for the students' basic necessities and do not understand that they are responsible for their child's supplies.
