I've had the pleasure of doing a practicum at an 'at-risk' school through my college.. bunch of 8th graders who just didn't wanna do jack **** besides goof off. It's even worse when they hold resentment from that particular school extending the school day but it's eased off by the fact they get to choose a particular class they would like to take.

Since I'm a music guy, I offered up to be the TA for the actual music teacher in that program but I ended up just taking over entirely since my natural charisma is as such that we just struck off a good partnership working together. There was a huge problem though - we didn't have access to the actual music room of the school. They just would not allow us to move in there after we noted that making sound and clapping is the foundation for rhythm and time and that other teachers would keep telling us to tone down. I had to bring some of my actual instruments just to at least get the students engaged.. I'd say these kids won me over though, I let them borrow them and take them home and one kid brought it back in 12 pieces :(

I can definitely see what TC is talking about, even more so after considering those videos of why people left the career entirely.
