A professor of mine showed this in class last Friday. It has been stuck on my mind since. Poverty is not something new in my life, but I think often times it is easier to just categorize stories as stories. I think we forget the human aspect that these belong to real people. These are situations students in our classrooms are facing each day. I do not mean to post this as a scare or sad tactic. I think it is important to be aware and remain knowledgeable. How could we use this to create a stronger classroom community? How can we use this to connect students with more resources and help them reach their fullest potential? How can we be the change?
