I work at a school that has 70% troubled students. Students that have abusive families, students that self harm, students that are suicidal, students that tell me they plan on dropping out and living in a van by the river. That’s how much they want to escape their home lives.
Our school is mostly punitive, with exercise as punishment. This is my first year here and I just want to inspire them and show them they can get out. I want to show them it can end with them and they can be happy. They’re all so, so sad. They need this.
