Many teachers under the J1 visa program are assigned to inner-city schools.
"Inner-city" means an older and central location within a more populated city than other areas. Inner-city schools are those found in neighborhoods primarily serving students belonging to low-income families.
Parents who may do drugs or who are in jail. Families who live thanks to food stamps from the government. Their communities have a diverse and multiracial population. It is common to have kids who have little grasp of English. And inner cities have high crime rates, and peace and order are a significant problem for authorities. (Yes, parang mga students sa Hollywood movies!)
