I work in a Title I primary school in South Carolina. My school is very transient and more than half of my students come from low income households. I live in a town where tourism thrives, which means at any given moment there's a chance of a knock on the door with a new student on the other side. That new student is usually only here for a few weeks. They may or may not have a backpack or supplies. There's also a good chance they live in a hotel. That same student might not speak much English. Regardless of what language they speak, where they come from, or how long they are in my class for, it's my job to give them the best possible learning experience.
