Food for thought

"Advocacy for all students, regardless of background, income level or any other factor, means placing them in environments, both academically and socially, where they have the greatest opportunity for success." as stated by Robert Nicks, Ed.D, associate professor at Lamar University in the Department of Educational Leadership.

This has really resonated with me in a class that just seems pointless. When I started to think about why it seemed pointless, it came to me. I have taught in a low-income (like 74% at-risk) school for the past 13 years. I already do most of this stuff every day. I don't know any other way to teach!!

Thoughts?
