Kyle Schwartz, a new teacher at Doull Elementary School in Denver, teaches
a third-grade class. Most of her
students come from underprivileged homes, as 92 per cent are entitled (给予权利) to free or reduced school
lunches, she said.
"As a new teacher, I tried to understand my students' real lives and
how to best support them. I just felt like there was something I didn't know
about my students," she said. To solve this problem, she asked her
students to complete the sentence: "I wish my teacher knew."
While some children used the notes to jokingly complain(抱怨) about homework or to ask for
more playtime, Ms Schwartz said some of the answers were "heartbreaking",
as children showed their hard lives. One student told Ms Schwartz that he did
not have any pencils at home, while another said that they hadn't seen their
father for six years. And another student wrote, "I wish my teacher knew
sometimes my homework is not signed (签字) because my mom
is not around a lot. "
She posted them to Twitter in March with the hashtag "I Wish My
Teacher Knew". Teachers on Twitter soon noticed how successful Ms
Schwartz's trick(策略) was for
reaching out to students, and began sharing similar notes they received
alongside "I Wish My Teacher Knew."
Ms Schwartz said that since she encouraged her students to share their
secrets, students have been supporting each other more, and she hopes the
method will connect students and their families with the proper resources (资源) they need to live comfortably. She
added that the results have been surprising, and the student that said she
didn't have anyone to play with has since been invited by classmates to join
them on the school playground.
