Florida teacher shares pic of student trying to do homework on free WiFi

Starke, Fla. — Sandra Starling spotted the young man sitting on the curb outside of the Subway restaurant in Starke, which is about 130 miles North of Orlando.

When she asked if he was trying to do homework, he answered “yes,” that his father works out of town and with the current economic crisis, internet at home was not a priority.

Starling posted his photo on her Facebook stating that this is a reminder that  “students have a lot going on in their lives. School is only a small part of some students struggle!”

She also noted that internet reception is not always the best in the rural county and that her fellow teachers should keep in mind that not everyone is working from  home.

Her post has been shared by more than 14,000 people.

Administrators at Bradford High School took note of the post and reached out to the young man.

She updated the story by saying “his determination will take him far and I wish him the best!”
