It is very disheartening to see the number of students that live with very little, if any support. I have a student that was recently put into foster care. He has a foster parent that is sitting down with him every night and going over his homework. That little bit of support has made a huge difference in a matter of days. It shows how much children can benefit from the interest of an adult figure at home. I have so many others that are wanting for attention. Many are missing one or both parents, some live in hotels, some live with grandparents that have to work full-time shifts to support them. Some come from abusive situations. Some are severely neglected.
These children need to be taught, but they also need to be loved.
