Speaking as a teacher, who teaches students that are not of my background("culturally" or otherwise) it's difficult no matter where you teach. I've been teaching for 6 years now...it's no picnic, but I love my job and my students. I've dealt with kids who drive better cars than me(not hard to do) and ones who have practically nothing living with 15-20 other people in their 2 bd house, you learn something from every one of your students.
My best wishes go out to Jenna, teaching is not easy, whether you're teaching rich kids or poor kids.
If anything she will be able to tell her dad 1st hand how much his NCLB SUCKS big wang(standardized testing is a waste of time), except for the highly qualified teachers part, with that I agree.
