By pursuing funding equity in court, financially challenged Pennsylvania districts are following a well-traveled school reform path.

“We switched therapists about three times this year,” Miller said. “So each time you had to get to know somebody new. That’s draining. No student feels like getting to know three different therapists and pouring their heart out three different times and telling your story three different times to three different people. It’s a lot to handle.”

Miller's classmate, Paul Vandy, says he never had a full sense of what other students have until he and Miller went to a nearby high school with the speech and debate team. It felt like they had stepped into one of the high schools he'd seen on TV. Vandy said despite trying to live a normal experience at their school, “things are kind of falling apart around you.”

Her love for home has come into conflict with the district's difficulties. She worries about Nylla's younger brother, who is about to enter the sixth grade and already has a sense that things are different elsewhere.
