[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 82138, member: 1550"] I feel for your wife. I wouldn't want to teach in an innercity school where, frankly, nobody cares about the kids. It would be really hard. I have no advice, just empathy. Hope she gets a handle on it. She may want to read some Jonathan Kozial books. THey are GREAT and focus on the very poor innercity school system, but also introduce the kids to you--it gives you a different perspective and maybe can help her understand where they are coming from. THeir lives are very different from ours, which is why they are like they are. I feel for all those kids too. I am not convinced that regular behavioral methods work with kids who may witness neglect, abuse and certainly may be very hungry at times--and angry. This doesn't sound like a middle class school where kids basically don't have to worry about violence in the streets. [/QUOTE]
