My school is a high-poverty, Title 1 school that is overcrowded and underfunded. Our 40% mobility rate is typical of high-poverty schools. Many of my students struggle with interest in learning, mostly due to struggles just to find food, housing, and stability at home. Over 20% of my students leave the classroom throughout the day to receive support to learn English, speech and communication support, and receive our Learning Center Resource Room support. They get double doses of reading, but very little in the area of science. The national and state directives to raise math and reading testing scores, causes science to be rarely taught and severely underfunded, if funded at all. My students are hungry for scientific experiences. I am highly trained in science and have brought in my own science materials, but this time the expense is beyond what I can personally pay.
