Content: The at-risk students are able to connect to former gang members on a personal level, and see them as mentors. Even just having one mentor who believes in your potential can be life changing. Secondly, I’d like to ask the teacher to be professional and negotiable. Too many times have I heard students complain about a teacher being unfair or biased. Teachers often push these comments aside or ignore them, saying that “its just how kids/students act.” But I could imagine (in fact I have seen) classrooms where teachers ask their students “What do you want to learn? What interests you? What is a fair amount of homework? My goals are X, Y, and Z. What are your goals? How can we work together to satisfy all or most of them?”
