Talking with Students

Story

I remember the discussions with students as we walked to the Manhattan Bridge. I helped some of them determine the best way to get home. Bergtraum was a magnet school, and we had kids from all 5 boroughs--but mostly from Brooklyn, Harlem, and the Bronx. Most of my students wound up walking all the way home. Some of them stayed with each other--went to each other's apartment.

A lot of the kids didn't know much about the city except what stop to get on and what stop to get off the train. Some were clearly disoriented, not knowing how to get north.
