Equity For All Students

My Project

Regardless of their background or socioeconomic status, these friendly young adults are ambitious dreamers and energetic masters of hope, braving to learn. They embody the graces we all need in a world distanced and pressured: hope and perseverance!

And with the exacerbated economic hardships of the moment, we sure will have more students needing our help.

This is about helping to preserve the hope and dignity of those needing a hand. This is to help equality among students who can afford to have a graphing calculator and those who cannot.

My goal is to make sure every one of my math students has very basic graphing calculator for assignments/tests.

This very basic supply is so needed in higher-level math classes. Without a graphing calculator, students take longer to finish tests/ assignments, get frustrated, and lose interest. Graphing calculators will help the students, particularly those from a proud working class, to have an even playing field to learn and achieve high standards.

So, this time, I decided to ask for your generosities once more. This will help the students and those coming from proud working families hit hard and sudden by the economic hardships of the moment. And being successful at school should not become a choice between their calculator or dinner.
