Reply to comment by CajunCuisine in I teach a Math Personal Finance class, help me think of additional lessons/activities. by homeboi808

It's bad, and this is a normal/upper income area (nearly every kid has AirPods, some have brand new cars). I can't imagine low-income where it's even worse.

Dang that’s tragic! I was just recently talking to my nephew (15) and his stepmom (who works some kind of government job but not a teacher) and they were saying how teachers are quitting left and right, moving to different states for other teaching jobs or just switching careers altogether because of how hard it’s getting to teach the kids. I’m thankful that I’m in a position so that my son can be homeschooled by my wife
