Poverty in America

Poverty and homelesness is a problem for youth in America because it is hard for them to get out of it. If their parents are poor and homeless, they are also poor and homeless. The young children also have dreams they want to accomplish but cannot beccause they don't have any money, or they have to contribute most of their time being the care taker of their siblings. Once a child is brought up in poverty, it is a struggle for them to get past it. In order for them to stop the line of poverty in their families, they have to overcome many struggles.

As a teacher I will address these problems by helping my students out. I will make sure they have enough help at home and in the classroom. I will have to be understanding about the the situation and remember that the child is having problems at home, and it may contribute to problems in the classroom.

  1. Is handling or helping a student in this type of situation different that a student in another situation which also affects classroom performance?
