At my school in Tennessee, school funding is very limited, and shrinking. 95% of the students in my school receive free or reduced lunch, living below the poverty line. Many of my students and their families struggle to have their basic food and shelter needs met. My students enjoy reading novels, but they also want to learn more about the world in which they are growing up, and they want to draw connections between these events and their own lives. My students deserve to read about the fascinating developments and challenges of today in a format that will help them meaningfully process and analyze them.
