It's Mr. Raymond's first day as a a high school math teacher. As he walks into the building, he can't help but remember his years here. Years of comming just for attendence, and cutting class, until finally he was sent to a detention center for selling drugs outside of school.
(Flash to the empty class room) As he is preparing his class he can't help but think of his purpose here. He knows what his students are struggling with between school and their personal lives. He wants to make sure that what they are learning in his math class will benefit them in the future.
As the year goes on, the students become restless and start to question what the hell is algebra going to do for them in the future?
Mr. Raymond presents students with their first assignment. Pick any career you want and create a monthly budget using the algebraic strategies they've been discussing.
Follow a couple of students journey through the assignment. Those who struggle with it, and then those who are excited about their potential career.
