My students are in a Title I middle school, and are often here from 6:30 in the morning until 8:00 at night for morning and after school programs. It is the teachers they see most of the time, and not their parents. Most of them come from low income families and the school itself does not have money for various activities and supplies. It is hard to educate and excite students without the proper equipment. Not to mention technology is taking over and there is a lack of it in the building where I work. Whatever money the school has in the budget is allocated to math and ELA and physical education is a forgotten subject. Safety of the students is most important along with classroom management. At times there are over 150 students in the gym at one time. Keeping them organized and engaged is a daily struggle.
