the problem:
With 87% of the 40,000 children living at or near the poverty level, students in Oklahoma City Public Schools are faced with many challenges from an early age: violence, family instability and emotional problems. The impact of these hardships often extends into the classroom, where teachers must help students overcome these barriers to success. Yet, even in such harsh realities, the right tools and opportunities can inspire students to embrace lifelong learning.
