I have many students from Trenton and it is so sad to see some of them be absorbed by the streets because they see no other way to survive. Most of the parents want to do right by their kids but no one did right by them, and on and on. Generational trauma and poverty. Very sad.
Those students you mention are lucky to have you as a teacher. It's been a while since I've been to downtown Trenton. Generally the closest I go is Ewing or on the Trenton outskirts, which are not the same.
