I believe that everyone has a right to an equitable education. This is what creates good and productive citizens. My students are over 90% free and reduced lunch. Technology is not at the forefront of their parent's minds. However, with my population of students (English as a New Language Newcomers) they are more interested in survival than getting their child's education underway. With this population, drop out rates are very high. Studies show that if someone (a teacher)shows an interest in their lives, drop out rates are significantly and dramatically reduced. This to me means that there will be someone who will be producing in society and not someone who will be taking something out from society. My students are very eager to learn. They are eager to contribute. We just have to give them an equitable chance to do that.
