My students attend a Title I school that has around 90% free and reduced lunch status. The school is quite racially diverse with Hispanic and African Americans making up the majority of students. Only four of the students in last year's class had computers at home. Our parents struggle daily to meet the basic needs of their children, leaving little time for enrichment and technology. They want the best education for their children, but often are unable to assist their children at home due to time, fear of misleading their child, or because of unsuccessful educational experiences they had as a child. I find that our students lack experiential knowledge and know little about the world globally. Due to their lack of understanding about the way that the world works, I often find my students lack self-esteem which often leads to an unwillingness to take risks. However, I've found that our students are happiest when they can learn socially and communicate their understanding to their peers.
