51. you know nothing about my students. This kid only has a mom |

these kids are the poorest of the poor living in temporary military housing made for World War II and were never intended to last more than 10 years... 60 years ago...
many of these kids literally have NOTHING and don't even know from one day to the next if they will have electricty or water
I had one student go home from school yesterday and the family's few possessions were out on the lawn, the locks were changed and many eviction notices were on the door. The mom took the girl and her brother and they left the state to outrun the bills.
I had one student last year whose family moved in the middle of the night so the landlord couldn't come after them.
these stories go on EVERY DAY at my school.
so in your all knowing education...remember you don't know everything
