My students are a rambunctious group of ten and eleven year olds who love to interact with one another and life. They are full of questions and comments about a myriad of subjects. Our school sits in the middle of an extremely poor Hispanic neighborhood where 91% of the residents are renters. Most families live in a bachelor or one-bedroom apartment. Many of my students sleep on the floor and do not have a dining room table to do their homework on. Families of six people live on less than $20,000 a year when their rents are between $800 to $1,000 a month. Our school services eleven hundred students. We provide free lunch and we serve breakfast in the classroom because most of our students don't eat breakfast at home. Many of our students get themselves ready for school because the adults in their household have already left for work. We run a before school program that starts at six am and an after-school program that runs until six pm. Some of our students are at school for twelve hours a day.
