High School
Have you ever taught high school? This is my 4th year as a teacher and I teach in a school that pulls mostly from low-income, African-American neighborhoods. The rest of the population is a potpourri. My classroom is based on the same concept as yours: trust. The problem is that many of these students are so jaded and so accustomed to failure and ridicule by the time they reach high school that they just do not want to try.
Any remarks?
