- Show that schools in Urban, Suburban, or Rural areas may all have their distinct issues they can share
a lot of the same.

affect their experiences in school.
RATIONALE:
If we all want to go on
to become teachers it is best that we go in with our eyes open and our heads filled with possible solutions and plenty of
energy. The struggles will be plentiful, but with the right tools and attitude
we might just make a difference to a few people.
