The economic issues in American society have major effect on young on young children basic needs. Young children do not understand the economic issues their families facing in today’s society. In the short story “The Lesson” the author addresses the reader regarding social and economic inequality in America. In America lower family are suffering the most because of their monthly income and cannot afford things their children’s wants. Therefore, lower family cannot afford the expensive materials for their children because they have to think about their daily life styles. Also these lower families had difficult times affording clothing, food, house rents and other essentials. According to the article, “Children are especially vulnerable economically

Introduction There’s nothing that could describe the struggles of being a poor kid. In the documentary of Poor Kids, posted by PBS, there you can clearly see how bad poverty has grown in the US. It’s sad watching these kids talk about how they struggle to get pass a week after another. Seeing how are these parents work but yet can’t find the money to support the kids.

In the excerpt from a book entitled Class Dismissed, Meredith Maran discusses that students’ parents should spend more time on getting involved in their children’s education. At first, the author states that if students want to be successful, their parents and schools should play important roles. However, there is a big trouble that parents have different opinion over getting involved in children’s education. Some parents are willing to get involved in their children’s education because they have enough time and sources to do so and they actually get reward from their parents’ same actions. On the contrary, the other parents don’t believe that get involved in their children’s education is important and majority of them don’t have enough time and material base to support, in that case, their children’s life are going to be tougher than theirs. In the end, Maran concludes that we cannot expect all the parents get involved into children’s education because society is still filled with materialistic unfairness.

One way to avoid being poor as an adult is to obtain a exceptional education. Child poverty can obstruct a child’s ability to learn to prepare for high school and middle school. According to Jens Ludwig, people who are poor don’t receive as much as educational

Maternal mortality, prostitution, and economic empowerment become global struggles due to lack of education and financial ability of both the country itself and individuals living in these countries. Families are following a pattern by neglecting to dedicate time, attention, and money to their children’s education. These people are living in the moment and do not

While the poor are barely protected by a frayed social safety net and often disengaged from the decision making processes that structure their lives, confronting the root causes of poverty is discouraging and increasingly urgent (Abramsky, 2012). Dramatic changes in the family, society, and the economy have altered the lives of children. Children are now more likely to live with a single parent with low levels of schooling and work experience making it more difficult for parents to support a family above the poverty level (Corcoran and Chaudry,

In the article “Low-Wage Workers Are Finding Poverty Harder to Escape,” Greenhouse (2014) pointed out that worker who is older and more educated are making low wages. In recent years it has become a high poverty rate and that because of the strength low-wage work on the state and also convert demographics and other factors. The spread of low-wage jobs to the high rate of poverty has contributed there are some graduates do not find jobs suitable to their testimony. Also, he mentions that students who want to get new job by high school face problems when employment due to the evolution of machinery. He also said that there are many to display instead of paying study costs paid to treat children who suffer from diseases and health problems.

In “Investing in Education”, Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn illustrate how having the power of education can help overcome poverty, inequality and economic development. It’s begins with the story of a young girl the met when they were newly married, Dai Manju, in China. The family lived in a one room wooden shack, with no running water or electricity, plus they share the space with a large pig. Dai Manju is an excellent student, but she was forced to drop out of sixth grade, because her parents didn’t see any reason for girls to get an education if they going to spend their time “hoeing fields and darning socks” (Kristof and WuDunn, 167). However, Dai Manju life changed drastically when Kristof wrote an article for the New York Times about her story.

Due to the many large scale reform acts of previous, it is almost obvious that we need a change in the public schooling system. The aim of each act is to make a just system for each student to achieve. However, not all public school children are succeeding, in fact a large fraction of students are failing. Not only are the students failing, but entire schools are failing. This make origin a predictor of success because each school, depending on origin, is financed differently. Origin, however, is ultimately based upon income, therefore, income is the ultimate predictor of success. This means that the paycheck of the family that a child is born into more or less determines the child’s educational success. This is one of the many reasons why reform is necessary; because school as it is does not offer each child the same opportunities. This makes a main issue of public schooling a social issue, poverty.

As impoverished children lack sufficient, nutritious food and the proper guidance to allow them to develop and identify a purpose, these children, as they age, are unable to realize the importance of an education. According to the American Psychological Association, a study that examined the relation between poverty and high school dropouts showed that in a high school class of 2012, approximately 1.1 million students had dropped out. (Rumberger 2012) These students who drop out lack the resources required to obtain a job that will allow them to be financially stable. Instead, these young
