My 10th graders, like Wes Moore, are stuck in a culture of poverty. They attend a persistently dangerous, inner-city high school made up of 99% African-Americans. Less than 60% of their freshman class will graduate in 2013. Many of them receive free and reduced lunch, and live with foster parents or other guardians. However, despite these challenges, my students are relentless in pursuing their educations as a ticket to a better life. If it's raining, they wait an hour for the city bus and come to school wet. If they don't have a computer at home, they schedule time to use the teacher's resources. The ask for independent reading suggestions, or help with job applications. Despite incredible challenges, both financially and emotionally, they are striving to finish school and pursue college degrees.
