269 Words2 Pages

Pregnant Teen: I had a 16 year old Hispanic girl in my class who was 7 months pregnant. She had no clue how she was going to take care of her baby or pay the bills. With both her parents struggling to make ends meet and her boyfriend was nowhere to be found. As her teacher, she was looking to me for assistance and guidance. There were too many students in my class and with limited resources in terms of time and money. I was only able to perform the bare minimum expected of me as a public school teacher. I was unable to spend time with her to guide, counsel and make her stay in school. She dropped out of school and took a babysitting job that helped her pay her bills.
Problem Student: There was another student who constantly got in trouble
