School kid notes
This caught me as a bit sad for sure. But I get the sense they want t think this school is in a bad niehborhood. 90 percent qualify for free school lunches. I know the area not a low income area, just average. A few blocks from lakefront. I know, it's the Denver Post. Still a snapshot of the way too many kid are growing up.

A Denver teacher's lesson plan has gone viral after it revealed the inner workings of her students' minds.Kyle Schwartz, 28, is a third-grade teacher at Denver's Doull Elementary School, where more than 90 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. In an effort to get to know her students better, she created a lesson plan called "I Wish My Teacher Knew."
She said she was blown away by her students' responses to the prompt, which she began sharing on Twitter. Pretty soon, the hashtag #IWishMyTeacherKnew was trending.
"The whole thing started as a way for me to get to know my students better and understand where they're coming from," Schwartz said. "It was really eye-opening. What they shared was very honest, very vulnerable, and it helped me understand who my students are as people."
