After reading "Savage of Inequalities", I was shocked and horrified at this town and the schools that children how to live and attend. I hope to never see or experience this in my life. If I ever had to teach in a town that had such poor conditions, I don't know what I would do, but I know that I would try to help them as much as I could and try to make a their learning experience a good and valuable one.

             I guess if I knew the area and I was accustomed to it, I would start by trying to make a comfortable learning area for the students. If I had money to do it, I would bring in my own equipment and books for them to use like the one teacher did in this article. Maybe this would help some of them want to come to school and learn.

Many of them probably feel that this town is a lost cause, but in order to try and make things better, you have to educate the future citizens of the tow...
