I'm a science teacher in California serving at risk and low performing students. Most of my students are low-income and come from homes where parents have no more than or less than a high school education. As a result of the state's budget cuts, I have 40 students and this quantity exceeds the room's capacity. Most of my students have difficulty understanding science because the majority have a reading and math level below the 6th grade. I teach 8th grade students and more than 30% have learning disabilities.
