In ways, I felt that gains, which had been achieved, had been lost. There were students with high aspirations, and they were doing positive things in order to achieve them,. Unfortunately, I saw a complacency among other students. As a teacher in a Title 1 school, I see too many students with a sence of hopelessness. Instead of breaking past cycles, they perpetuate them. Before I can address the curriculum, I have the address deep-seeded values that the students bring to the table. We work on empowerment, and they are exposed to positive role models. I would like to add to your saying with one that I utilize, "Your atttitude determines your altitude." I watched the documentary with mixed feelings.
