  Case: No time or resources for projects!
I taught high school in a low-income area for two years. I never gave any large, outside-of-class projects simply because most of my students did not have the resources to complete the projects. Also, many of my students worked close to full-time jobs. The middle school I teach at currently, the population is 67% Latino. Most parents are not proficient enough in English to help their kids, nor do they have the financial resources. What is an appropriate amount of classtime for projects? How much should I expect the students to be able to do outside of class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Two hours a week should be given to do resource projects. Also, reach out to different businesses in the community that might be willing to donate supplies to the classroom. Even big chain stores like office depot, office max and so on have programs for struggling school districts.

Comments: Going to the community for donations is a great idea, and so is allowing the class time for the projects.
