Our school is located South of downtown Los Angeles. Most of the students are Hispanic or African American. They are energetic, with a vast variety of abilities. Many of the students have been exposed to harsh environmental factors such as gangs, poverty, and family instability. Many of the student attend after school programs, because either or both parents work, they are from a single parent household, or parents work more than one job. I am happy to say that our school embraces all our students, and we are committed to teach, despite our student’s diversities. One thing I do know about my students is that when we do meaningful Project Based Learning, school becomes so much more important to them.
