Ms. S. teaches English and math in a low-income neighborhood in New York City. She’s one of the most experienced teachers at her school, having been there two years. She has a business degree, but school recruiters kept contacting her after she graduated so she decided to try teaching. “I really enjoy the quality time that I get to spend with these kids,” says Ms. S., who is not using her full name, because she has not been authorized by her school to speak. “They’re a lot of fun to be around.”
