Letter from a rural school teacher
There are 38 children waiting for me this morning.
They are spread across 6 grade levels.
And I am their teacher.
While I am helping one child learn to read, another may be waiting for help with fractions.
It isn’t easy. But every morning, I look around my classroom and see children who want to learn.
What does it take for a child to keep choosing school when so
many responsibilities are pulling them elsewhere?
For some of my students, simply being here is an accomplishment.
Life in our rural communities can be difficult. Some children help their families fish, forage or trap small animals for food. Others may be needed at home to care for younger brothers and sisters. And for some children, going to school can mean giving up a day’s work that would help support their family.
