Unpacking Our Students' Emotional Baggage for Success and High Standards

I give you this background information to give you an idea of how significant the situation in this paper is to my heart as an educator, more specifically an educator who has first- hand knowledge of poverty as I come from it and by many standards I am still living in it.
