Teaching Hope 74
This story really looks at how you can't expect kids to do their work in school and to be good students when their basic needs are not met. And what do you do when you have a child who's needs are not met? This teacher has a great idea of giving this student a notebook to write down her thoughts and what's going on. This allows the teacher to really gain some insight into what's going on in this girls life. The other problem is the depression and the teache has reported it to guidance. But when the parents never respond, what are you supposed to do? It's just such a hard situation for a teacher I think because you really want to help your kids but in reality there really is only so much you can do. You just have to be there for your students and let them know you care, let them know you'll help with everything you can.
