The Importance Of Education In Low Income Schools

After reading this article, I felt very sympathetic knowing that these types of issues occur every day in the classrooms of many school districts. I learned that many students in low income schools do not have many opportunities in becoming successful or furthering their education due to the low resources that their schools provide for them and their teachers. I also learned that each student has the right to equal education no matter whether they are an English learner, have a disability, come from a low income family, from a minority group, or is an immigrant student. This has informed me as a pre-service teacher because it has given me a glimpse of how difficult it can be for many students who struggle academically because of lack of teaching,
their environment, their financial burdens, and even more. I will implement what I have learned in my class by being more open-minded and accepting to each of my students. Moreover, knowing that each student is different based on their race, gender, and ethnicity will allow me to have a diverse classroom where everyone accepts on another without judging. Recognizing and taking action of the issues that my students have and trying to solve them with the best of my abilities in order for them to succeed academically and achieve their goals in life. I will help my students realize that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to and will gain high expectations from them in order to push them to their highest potential. I will connect this to my previous experiences by examining myself and the situations I have as a student. The experiences I have had with teachers and the many struggles I face due to certain circumstances in which I live or the background I have. And finally, I will connect this to my experiences I have had with my fellow classmates and peers and the issues they have faced when dealing with their continuation of their education.
