The students in my school come with many barriers in their way of learning. We have over 85% of students living in poverty. Often they are exposed to environments that don't provide them with the socially acceptable ways to interact with others. So not only do they need taught core academics, they also need to learn how to navigate through the school in appropriate ways. They are capable of learning, but they often haven't had the early childhood interactions that help learning come easily. Our students are the hardest working kids I know!
