I work at a Title 1 School with a very special population. We are primarily African American, with a small percentage of Hispanic and Vietnamese students. Many of our students come from families living below the poverty line, and school is their opportunity to "change their stars." Unfortunately, a high percentage of our students have yet to learn essential skills that are needed to excel in the classroom -- from conflict resolution, to impulse control, anger management, emotional regulation and coping skills. The lack of these skills show themselves in other ways -- fighting, arguing with teachers, refusal to do work or a fear of asking for help, an inability to focus in class, as well as trouble sharing and getting along with others. They are truly wonderful kids that need the best educational experience we can give them. Without that, I'm afraid the vicious cycle of living in poverty will continue.
