The majority of my students come from low income backgrounds where there is either one parent or no parent in the household. When they are home they are left to their own devices and do not get the parenting and nurturing they need and are left to raise themselves. When they come to school they lack the social skills that many children should have such as being kind to others, working together and talking in an inside voice. Most of my children are two or more years behind academically and many more are behind socially. Deep down my students are sweet and kind but have no knowledge of how to interact with others.They have a sense of humor like no other and their hugs and love (when they give them) are magical. I want to be able to give these kids the education they deserve and teach them not only academically but socially.
