My day begins passing out breakfast to my first period student. More than 80% of the students that attend my school qualify for free or reduced lunch. Working in an impoverished system means that a large amount of time is spend ensuring student's basic needs are met. How can I be mad if someone did not bring a pencil when they slept on the floor last night? How can I be mad at a student who does not have paper and their parents do not have any mode of transportation in a rural area with no transportation infrastructure? Focusing so much energy on meeting basic needs means that creative projects are usually left by the wayside due to funding issues. Students who are struggling readers when they reach high school are at risk of dropping out. My goal is to build the confidence of every student I teach by encouraging them, challenging them, and fostering their individuality.
