My teachers were all very supportive and caring. The main elementary school I went to in Chicago was very culturally diverse and was in a rough area with lots of gang activity nearby. It was not always safe. Too many stories to tell in this space...

3. I felt that my elementary/middle school set the culture to have a lot of pride in our school. There was always new incentives to make our school a better place.
4. My school was very diverse. We had a mix of almost every financial status class, we had a mix of every race and it was pretty even percentages across the board . I was also part of a dual-language program to which half of my class was native Spanish speakers and the other half was native English speakers.

My elementary experience was very unique. I was born and raised in Chicago and attended school here until 2nd grade, being so young I don't remember much, but liking my school very much. I attended a private bilingual elementary school in Mexico from 3-6 grades which felt very safe and caring. My school community there was beyond nothing I had ever experience. I then moved back to Chicago and lived on south side where I finished grades 7th and 8th. My school experience then was shocking and terrifying. Gangs, drugs, and violence were seen on a daily basis.

Karin Most of my teachers were warm and welcoming. I loved school and loved my teachers. However, I do remember my kindergarten teacher shaking her finger at students saying "Shamey, Shame on you". Hmmm, probably not a great idea!

I went to elementary school in Brazil, an all girls' catholic school. I never felt threatened or bullied. When I moved to the US in 7th grade, I went to a small K-8 school. Sometimes I felt like an outsider mostly due to the fact I was from a different culture and country.

I attended two elementary schools (K-3) and then 4-6. The teachers were often friends of the family and it seemed like everyone was very supportive. My school had some diversity but all of European background. I never had any sense of fear.  I now realize I was bullied once during middle school. But K-6 was a happy experience.

I don't have many memories of my grade school experience so that it makes me think there was a lack of engagement. If I can't remember my teachers then perhaps the teachers didn't make enough impact.
