My students attend a failing high school in a major city in Pennsylvania. They walk through the front door of a dilapidated, century-old building every day looking for hope. They have the same dreams and ambitions as students in high-performing schools: they want to be doctors, lawyers, and businessmen. But they struggle every day with the reality of attending an under-resourced school. At the beginning of the year, I asked my students what they would buy if they had $1,000 to spend on improving their high school. The two most common responses were infrastructure and basic supplies, such as pencils and paper. They know they do not have the supplies they need, and they want them because they want to learn.
