i teach in a very rough school (lowest socio economic area in the Wellington region).
Some of their lives are indescribable.
5-13 year olds. Have been there 21 years and counting.
Love it, love them.
Our Year 8s (12 turning 13 year olds, had speeches to give this term (last term of the year).
Here is an excerpt from one speech.
Silenced me...
"Music is freedom.
Music is shutting your eyes and lying on the bed with no worries, no stress.
Pressing the pause button on life just for one minute.
It's the calm without the storm that you can never find...except here."
