Hey y’all, I teach at a private school that’s in an urban core, on the same block as a behavioral health facility and a half-way house. I’m trying to change the perspective of my students—the way they and their families speak about the unhoused and mentally ill is in stark contrast to the citizens of the world I mean to educate. Are there any novels for 5-8 graders that would put this issue into focus for them?
