“i am a high school teacher in a small city with not enough job opportunities...”

i am a high school teacher in a small city with not enough job opportunities. as a result, incarceration is a reality for families who live here. many of the students i work with have lost a parent to the state prison system. it is hard to learn when you miss someone, when that person's presence is unpredictable, when violence is a reality.
