I currently work in a school located in a large district in a large urban area. As is true for everyone in education funding is tight. My students are not in a Title I situation, they live in a working class community with hard working parents. Most families are two income and provide for their children. Oddly enough, because of that, our school receives minimal funding. Much of what we do have is funded by our families. They work hard to help their children and I want to work equally hard to help them receive the materials they need. want them to know what is possible and give them all the opportunities I have at my disposal. Some of my children struggle in their learning. I tutor before and after school and offer what is available. I believe this is a valuable tool to offer my students.
