Education of Poor Children


Children in poverty make up thirty-nine percent of the population, and most of these children do not receive a good education because their parents cannot afford to send them to anything but a public school. This paper will discuss the education of children under twelve years of age who are in poverty, including programs offered to education children in poverty, how the government helps disadvantaged children, how the environment and ethnicity affect learning, and what can be done to help these children get a better education.


There are many programs out there may benefit the education of poor children. Right now, the Federal government provides some funds to educate children in the public school system only. Often times, parents in poverty do not like the level of education their child is receiving, and they want to have the government help them pay to send their children to a private school to get a better education. The Federal government does not provide any funding to educate poor children in private schools. So many parents are forming organizations that put pressure on their state’s government to provide funding. Wisconsin is one state that parents are pushing for better education of children who are in poverty. A
. . .
The Federal government helps disadvantaged children by providing federal funds. Researchers continue to press the case that inequalities in schools unfairly penalize those children who live in schools districts with little funding. They get their funding from the state of Wisconsin through grants. This study also took into account how impoverished neighborhood conditions, and environmental influences can affects children who are not even in poverty. This group formed in response to the poor education their children were receiving. Cultural differences exist because of the difficulties minority children have in making sense of what is demanded of them in school, the negative impact of their lack of understanding the adults in the school, and their lack of skills at home to help the overcome differences (Early care and education for children in poverty, 1998). Researchers also did a study to determine if difference is academic performances in children were attributed to a difference is behavior and attitudes among families.


The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) is the Federal government’s largest investment in elementary and secondary education. Children of a low-SES are often clustered in schools that are grossly under funded. Another organization in Wisconsin that is fighting for education for children in poverty is Partners Advocating Values in Education. Schools often postpone repairs to buildings and even delay construction of new buildings to save money. EPIC is a resource that contains information about public, private and religious K-12 schools in Milwaukee. A major problem with the school districts right now is that they focus on the children who are of a high-SES. It is often used as a stronghold of basic skills.

Another effect in a personal level, is that lack of education is an obstacle in order to the develop of social competences that are competences that help us to understand the other people, this must that socialization does not occur so there is no contact with other people; consequently this leaves bad interpersonal relations and those bad relations generate violence and intolerance towards the attitudes of others.

on the other hand at social level this lack of education brings with himself poverty illiteracy then every time is prepared people less and with less capacity to analyze to criticize and to reflect about the situations that spend day to day, there is less work in equipment, solidarity, generating this way a great social crisis, everything by the lack of education


To sum up lack of education generate: first individual problems but with time that problems can be social so all citizens should receive quality education in order to remove many violent acts that are in nowadays and this form have more children in the school that in the work.
