Background
I teach at a small magnet high school where kids have to apply to be admitted. A big part of the admission policy is to attract students with very different backgrounds. Therefore, the student body is very diverse. We have kids from elite private schools as well as kids from really disadvantaged urban middle schools. As a result, students` skills vary a lot. I have to adjust my teaching style accordingly and approach my students in an individual way. While some of them take the most rigorous AP classes, a lot of them struggle with simple mathematical concepts. My goal, as a teacher, is to address every student`s needs and give all of them an opportunity to succeed.
