I teach gifted and talented students at an inner-city school. My school is in a low-economic area with very limited resources. The kids are great. Many are trying to rise above the challenges in their life (parents in prison, single parent homes, parents working two jobs just to pay the bills). These kids still look at education as fun and drink in the learning. They are always asking about how things work or why events happen. My school is doing well test wise, but our district budget continues to be cut, which means little to no field trips. We need to have more experiences in the classroom to make up for the loss of field experiences that these students need and thrive on. Many of the gifted students I have are African American and Hispanic. Many times being both a minority and living in low-poverty means exposure to middle class America is limited, which puts him or her behind others when they reach middle school
