I teach supportive behavior students at one of the toughest schools in the district. My students are ESE students with emotional behavior disorder as their exceptionality. Ninety four percent of the students are free and reduced lunch and 94 percent are minority.
Many of these students live with one parent or grand parent and these are the lucky ones. Some live in shelters and cars. Most of their clothes are dirty or too small.
My students have experienced severe emotional tram in their lives. Their behavior gets in the way of their academics and they are placed in an ESE classroom.
At any given moment a student will shout, cry, kick, destroy or hide in the classroom. Many of these behaviors have decreased since I have started teaching them in a loving and structured environment.
I do not receive supplies from their parents like I have at other schools. I have often bought lunch for them, folders, tissues, pencils and whatever they need.
