My school is a small rural high school in North Carolina. Our county is a low income area with no major industry. Our county is so small, we have no movie theaters and students spend most of their time hunting, fishing, playing sports, or glued to their smartphones.
I teach very bright students and very low level students. Many of my students have weak vocabulary skills and read below grade level. Their critical thinking skills are very weak.
While many lack motivation, once that spark of interest is ignited, they will gladly work hard for me in class. They get excited whenever I introduce anything that is not a pen and paper activity and beg for anything that allows them to get out of their seat.
