Attempting to understand our students is not always easy. Not only do we have the cultural, and other obstacles that come naturally. We are sometimes faced with the student that has grown up economically disadvantaged. I have had students that were gang members and came from an environment that I simply could not comprehend. Drugs, Violence, absent parents,sexual abuse, ect, ect. Sometimes getting in touch or at least understanding these students can be very fullfilling both professionally and personnally. Just something to think about.
