A third-grade teacher in Denver, Colorado has sparked a sensation on Twitter, after asking her students to open up about their personal struggles.

Kyle Schwartz has been a teacher for three years, and says that many of her students at Doull Elementary School come from underprivileged backgrounds, with 92 per cent of the student body qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Seeking to understand a bit more about their lives, Schwartz last month thought up a lesson plan called 'I wish my teacher knew...'

She asked all for he children to write down one thing they wanted to tell her, but wouldn't normally in the classroom situation and the results were heartbreaking.
