Worrying about food, money, transportation, and clothing are adult worries, yet many of the students at my school face these problems each day. 90% of the students receive free lunch and receive bags on Fridays to make sure they have food over the weekend. In spite of the challenges they face, my students constantly rise to the occasion and frequently blow me away with their ability to learn. Some have and some do not. It is my job to level the playing field so that all have a chance to be successful. Through hands-on, exciting and active assessment, all students prove themselves time and time again.
