Inner City Kid

The hood, the ghetto.

pick your choice of name of an inner city

ever ask yourself why you come to work in the inner city?

Is it really because you "want" to help inner city kids

or is it because you get paid a lot more to teach in the inner city?

you must belive your such a great teacher, don't you?

Great Teacher?

NO.

you come into the inner city thinking you know what these kids go through

but you don't.

thinking this kid is rebellious and doesnt want to learn.

Every inner city kid's dream is to learn and get out of the inner city

Did you know that same "rebellious" kid has an abusive father

or that other kid with the drug addicted mother

or that one and that one with absentee parents.

You don't know and thats the problem!

these "rebellious" kids are just crying out for atttention,

and help.

These inner city kids want your help.

These inner city kids need an amazing teacher.

A teacher that wants to help and not only there for the money.

These inner city kids..
