My students reflect the incredible diversity of Oakland. I used to teach exclusively English Learners; today, my classes include those students alongside some of the strongest readers in the school. Together, they represent a remarkable range of backgrounds, experiences, languages, and academic strengths. About 75% of my students are students of color, and about 75% qualify for free or reduced-price meals. But those numbers only begin to tell their story. My students come from all walks of life, and that mix is one of the great strengths of our classroom. They bring different perspectives, experiences, and voices to the work we do—and journalism gives them a way to make those voices heard.
