There were not any students in my class who had any severe learning disabilities. My teacher detected that there was one girl who had a slight case of dyslexia, so to help her she often either had me or another tutor read through her homework directions with her to make sure she understood what was being asked of her to complete. This student was really a bright student and my teacher did not want her to feel like we were treating her too differently from the other kids because she did not want the student to think she was being treated differently or feel like she had some sort of weakness. Whenever my teacher talked about other students in the school with disabilities she always used complete discretion and respect.

More than half of the students that attend Dunleith Elementary are African American and the other majority of the students are Hispanic. Based on the 2015 school year statistics, of the 721 students that attend the school, there are 483 that are eligible for free lunch and 90 that are eligible for a reduced-price lunch.

When I first started this field experience, I underestimated what going to a Title 1 school was going to be like. I am from Johns Creek, Georgia which has some of the top ten schools in Georgia, so being immersed in this school setting where the students come from working class families was definitely a new experience for me. After my first day of volunteering, I definitely left with a single story of how this experience was going to go, but I tried to keep Adichie's talk in mind. All I could see was these kids acting out, not caring about school, and the teachers yelling at the students, and that is the complete opposite of what I was used to. I had this single story of the school that all of the students were bad kids who just didn't care, but I came to learn that I was wrong. These students come from such troubled families that it is hard to get them motivated to be focused in school. I have completed my hours and have continued to go back and probably will for the rest of the semester. I have built a relationship with the students and now that they trust me it is easier to help them with their homework and get more done.

A lot of the times when students act out the teacher results straight to yelling at the students. If the students really act out badly then they were to sit out in the hallway for 10 minutes with their homework and then the teacher would grade their homework for accuracy. This happened to one boy a few weeks ago when he threw a pencil at other boy and it hit him in the face. At Dunleith, a school wide method of quieting the students down is using a "Voice-level scale". This scale ranges from 0-5, 0 being not talking, whispering, or making any noise whatsoever. Whenever classes are walking down the hall the teacher sternly instruct the students that they must be on voice level zero. This lets the students know that they better not talk or step out of line. When in the classroom and the students are working on their work, the teacher will tell the students to be on voice level one. This lets the students know that the most they can do is whisper, but only about the work that they are working on. If the level gets above a one, then the teacher will bring it to a zero and the students will not be allowed to talk. A couple days ago, my teacher Mrs. Langord had asked the class to be on voice level 1 and one table of students would not stop talking so she made them split up around the room and be on voice level zero for the remainder of the time.

I noticed that among the students there seemed to be a lot of friendship issues. Students always seemed to be putting each other down and making jokes that would intentionally hurt one another. One of the girls in my class used a lot of profanity towards other students. This would cause disruption in the classroom which would then cause the teacher to have to yell at the students more. I also noticed that my 5th grade students brought a lot of their "relationship" drama into the classroom. There was a lot of people dating and breaking up with one another which affected their classroom behavior as well. For example, two boys got into a physical fight over a girl one day because they both liked her and wanted to date her.

The relationship between teachers and students is one like I have never seen before. When the students are out of their seats or doing something they are not supposed to be doing the teachers will immediately result to yelling at the students. For example, one 5th grade boy was running around the table trying to grab a pencil from one of his friends, and granted he was not supposed to be out of his seat or running, but one teacher grabbed him by the arm and started yelling very loudly at him in front of the whole cafeteria. When we are in the classroom, I noticed that the teachers don't really have as much of a filter as I anticipated the teachers would have. I heard conversations between the teachers and students that in my opinion I thought the students were too young to be having. They would be talking about drugs, alcohol, and music that was not appropriate for them to be listening to. I think this stems from the area that surrounds the school and where the students come from. I met one students who's legal guardian was her 18 year old sister, so it would make sense that she would be introduced to more mature subjects.
