I teach in an inner-city middle school. My students are extremely diverse. Most are free or reduced lunch and most of them have never experienced the great outdoors. I teach science, reading and language arts and try my best to introduce students to the world outside of the city, as well as point out the wonderful world within their city that they take for granted. Many of my students have special needs and are included with the general population and receive no additional support in my classroom. I have a large number of students who have been in trouble with the law with regular probation officers, social workers, court officers, etc. as well as students who have witnessed or been a victim of drive by shootings, domestic violence, sexual harassment, etc.
