Kyle Schwartz teaches third grade at Doull Elementary in Denver.
Although she says her students are a pleasure to look after, the educator of three years adds that many of them come from underprivileged homes.
"Ninety-two percent of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch," Schwartz tells ABC News. "As a new teacher, I struggled to understand the reality of my students' lives and how to best support them. I just felt like there was something I didn't know about my students."
In a bid to build trust between her and her students, Schwartz thought up a lesson plan called "I Wish My Teacher Knew."

Dear readers of this post: you know all of the pain and tears and complexities of life that you deal with every day? So do many of the children of the world. They just don't have the tools to properly deal with them, and some kids have problems that no one has the tools to deal with.
