what effects do poverty have on education?

People who attend school and are poor face many problems. The most obvious one is that in many cases they have to give up school to find a job that pays the bills. These people also lack proper nutrition. A healthy diet is necessary to study, to concentrate and to learn. If they can’t have one, they don’t benefit from school as good as they should. Likewise, they don’t have access to a good medical care. So they stop attending for long periods if they get sick and if a relative gets sick they have to quit school to take care of them and/or get a job to buy them their medicines. In some developed countries, poor people have access to good medical services, but in many other countries the reality is that “if you’re poor you are on your own”. Other problem that poor people face is that they can’t buy the necessary supplies for school and they end up failing for it. Another problem is that some poor people constantly have to endure rude remarks and bad treatments from bullies at school. So, their motivation to work harder weakens due to those abusive behaviors. \nOf course, there are scholarships for people with limited resources but they are not enough.  \nNevertheless, there are many people with limited resources who with a mix of hard work, sacrifice and good luck overcome their difficulties in life and get trough school in order to find better jobs. However, these successful people usually are not *extremely* poor to begin with.

These are some of the bad effects of Globalization and politicization of the education. Education curriculum and students are easiest to be target by political parties to make their point and score brownie points from different quarters. \n\nNo one understand where is problem with reservations - is it concept or implementation of this. Similarly adding film stories and making maths and English optional to please a strata of the society who votes and pay money to these political parties to gather power. \n\nSo I fully agree with you that education about which boast around all the world is deteriorating and this way we will loose whatever position we have got in world.

Let's look at it within the context of class warfare. In this view, the upper classes will oppose things which strengthen the lower and middle classes. \n\nIn a system where a free public education qualifies people for middle class jobs, the lower and middle classes are gaining strength. In a system where families must pay for higher education to improve their status, these gains are slowed, or even stopped.\n\nIn short, the powerful have worked to place education beyond the reach of ordinary people because uneducated people are less likely to effectively challenge their power.

There several things involved with socioeconomics and academic achievement.\n\nFirst, usually the best schools are in the best neighborhoods. People with money make sure their kids attend the best schools, some public and some private. It neighborhoods where homes are expensive, the monies raised from taxes go to the schools there and they are usually full of the best equipment, teachers ,etc.\n\nSecond, the schools in poor neighborhoods are usually run down, have over worked, under paid teachers (many just out of college). The learning environment is pretty poor. \n\nRecently, on Oprah, they showed the very sad physical state of schools in poor neighborhoods vs in wealthier neighborhoods. The difference was unbelieveable.\n\nParents in more disadvantaged neighborhoods are scraping by, have little education themselves and some are on drugs/alcohol or single parent homes. This environment is not the best to succeed for their children.  Reading needs to begin early, there are studies showing that children need to be introduced to reading BEFORE school, or they will lag behind the other children. Some poor children don't get introduced to reading until the first time they attend school and at home they rarely get read to by parents/caregivers.\n\nUnfortunately, in this world, the wealthier you are the better chance you have of higher achievement. But, that does not mean a person of a poor background can't achieve, many have, it takes a great deal of determination though.

You are going to have to define your terms 'target population' versus overall society. I think if passed it would harden class lines, reduce services (including education) thereby reducing upward mobility, create a larger impoverished class, and would increase social tensions and resentments immeasurably.\n\nI am not sure if that addresses your question.

It always makes me sad when ignorance is made to seem a virtue.  And, yes, I would say religion's interference in education is a factor in the decline of education in the U.S.  I wouldn't say it's as large a factor as lack of discipline due to overcrowding in classes and parents who are too distracted by jobs or their own selfish wants to make sure kids do their homework and respect their teachers, but it's a factor nonetheless.

I don't know about poverty, but it is a financial struggle.\nUnfortunately, many of the services autistic children truly need are not available via free public services.  The help that public school systems offer is often below par.  Speech and behavioral therapies are often needed that must be paid for out of pocket.\nIf the child requires a special diet, certain foods can be expensive.\nIt can very quickly become very costly.\n\nIt is all worth it for your child though.

When you get your diploma.\n\nChronic truancy can have lifelong effects such as, poor grades, failure to graduate, no diploma, diminished opportunities, crappy low-paying job, lowered social status, inability to properly provide for your children, a future of always wanting nice things you cannot afford, and ultimately a pauper's grave. \n\n  You have been given the gift of being able to get an education and the opportunity to become anything you want if you try hard enough. \nYou should grasp that opportunity, many around the world are not so fortunate...

Those who live in conditions of poverty lack a wide range of economic and other resources and may be described as "poor" or "impoverished". Some see the term as subjective and comparative, others see it as moral and evaluative, while others consider that it is scientifically established.\n\n__________________________________\n\nMany different factors have been cited to explain why poverty occurs. No single explanation has gained universal acceptance.\n\nGo to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty to fin links to statistics and more information!

Well, intelligence is hereditary, so that answers the first part.  Ethnicity comes into play only because certain parts of the world have better education programs than others.  Social Class has a positive and a negative impact because the rich can get by being dumb if they inherit their fathers' or mothers' estate and have an honest person take care of it for them.  Rich kids go to Ivy league schools, but they are not necessarily the best education.  They are more for social status.  I am assuming this is a Sociology class you are in.  But.....Intelligence can occur to poor or upper class, mother and not daughter, all races, and so on.  It is through education that intelligence is put to use, with no education, a person could seem as dumb as a rock.  So, this is really a trick question.  In reality, we are products of society.
