Edit
The majority of my students come from low income, single parent homes. They face many obstacles in their daily lives, but most of them still show up to school with a smile on their face each day. They work hard and strive to succeed. With the recent implementation of the ACT Aspire, these students are faced with a new obstacle....typing their responses on the test. They don't take a keyboarding class and only about 20% of my students have computers to practice on at home! With only 30 minutes to plan and type their response to a writing prompt, I feel like we are setting these students up for failure. They have so many great ideas on paper, but struggle to type them out.
