I am a teacher in a rural, low income ( though you would never know it from the clothes the kids wear on free dress Wednesdays, the SUV’s their parent or grandparent on welfare pick them up in) school district.....................we have all the bells & whistles you mention...........the prometheum boards, the endless computers, the tons of money thrown our way................unless you are in the school system you would not believe it.
I think you are a wonderful, caring teacher who is absolutely fighting a losing battle. I cringe every time one of my second graders tells me he or she will be an auntie or an uncle...................
Our country is in a complete freefall and public schools are a tiny bandaid on a gushing wound. I would not send a homeless guinae pig to my school district........
You are probably the only hope that the Nicoles of the world have............
Apologize for the double post........I accidentally clicked twice.............
