I teach at a Title I school in South Carolina with a high poverty level. My students are challenged academically, socially and economically. Most of my students love to learn, while others are worried with their own personal struggles. Day-to-day home life that may be less than appealing; sick family members, drug-addicted siblings, parents in jail...you name it, we have it covered. Several of my students are in foster care, being raised by other family members, or homeless. There is a mix of African American, Hispanic, and Caucasian; my students range from gifted to learning disabled to autistic. Despite the hardships faced outside of school, they truly come into class and do their best.
