“You’re Always Working With Not Enough”: An Educator Speaks Out
“There are some of them that are persevering and they are being successful, but…a big majority of them are not,” says the woman who serves homeless students for the largest school district in Washington state. Dinah Ladd, the McKinney-Vento Liaison for Seattle Public Schools, is a former teacher and assistant principal. She talks to Stephanie Heffner of YWCA Seattle ǀ King ǀ Snohomish about the barriers students face when they are homeless, and reflects on what it will truly take to
help them succeed.
