The effects poverty has on children - 0 views

  •  
    Within this article I learn about what effects poverty might bring to children. I learn that living in a poverty, it can have effects within the family, and educational outcomes.Children who grown up in poverty don't have many opportunities such as those who grown up in middle class or upper class. Poverty has many effects on a child's life and how they will live as an adult.
  •  
    I have never researched poverty in children,but I can imagine what kind of effects it has on them as a grown up. When those children are born into that life,the cycle is really hard to get out of.

    Poverty is a rough thing on children for sure, agree wit you and good post.

Child Poverty - 1 views

  •  
    This article talks about children being the poorest population in the United States and how poverty affects children and society. It also brings light to how government assistance programs can make a difference in a child's life.
  •  
    You can also see a clear difference in the schools that are filled with children that live in poverty because of how underfunded they are due to schools getting most of their funding through property taxes.
  •  
    Its surprising and unfortunate to read that children are the poorest population when they have no control over their situation.

Education Is the Key to a Better Quality of Life for Women - 0 views

  •  
    Education is the key to a better quality life in America. This is particularly important for our country's women because, though women have dominated our workforce, they are often set back by poor life decisions, personal crisis, or just do not have the resources available to succeed. The improvement of education will be a joint effort for everyone involved, including the individual, community, and government leadership.

  •  
    This article bring to attention the fact that so many kids are required to put their needs above their education. It is unfortunate that this happens because it has such a huge effect on their future. I cannot fathom trying to live on $2 a day or less!

    Wow! What an eye opener, and a really great read. I new it was a lot, but these numbers are astronomical and unacceptable. Something must be done! Thanks for sharing!!!

Why we ignore BIG problems in Education - 0 views

  •  
    Education in classrooms is learned. When children go home it is another story. Children are not to blame, because they grow up in a families that have financial struggles. It takes a village to raise a child.
  •  
    Children should not be blamed for problems relating to educational success, schools should instead look at possible mental illnesses as well as treatment that occurs at home.

Why our education funding systems are so important to students futures - 0 views

  •  
    A massive part of school district funding is local property taxes, which is why the high property value areas have better funded schools. If we want to thrive as a country we need to have quality education and funding for schools everywhere not just the wealthy districts but the colored and poverty districts, too. Quality education should be for everyone.

Under-funding schools can ruin students futures - 1 views

  •  
    Funding in high poverty areas were hit hard by budget cuts in recent years, getting less and less money, leading to things like teacher layoffs, reduced services and more. If the government followed the Every Student Succeeds Act, high poverty schools could get more funding towards their students futures.

Refugees | USCIS - 1 views

    A clear look into what it takes to be considered a refugee, and educating on what it takes to apply for refugee status. Opens a platform of discussion into refugee reform.

    Do you believe that it takes a specific criteria in order to be a refugee? And what are your views on this if a specific criteria isn't met?
  •  
    I know we should be helping each other out but accepting a lot of refugees all at a time will cause a lot of potential problems. Not that I do not think humanity plays a big role in this but social and educational issues are what we should be also considering. Can we promise to afford them their living standard? Can we provide each of them with a decent job while the people in the country itself are still unemployed?
  •  
    I think that is a great question. Studies show that children or youth refugees are woefully unsuccessful unless their parents are gainfully employed, educated, and many other incredulous factors. Allowing refugees into the country is a completely separate topic than building an entire social infrastructure funded by American taxpayer funds. In order for these refugees to be successful the government is spending millions of dollars per family, and tens of millions per family unit after five years of residence. I am of the opinion we need a complete overhaul of the existing system. I can simply not encourage immigrants to come to my homeland when my kinsmen are dying at astonishing rates at the hands of mental disorders, suicide, poverty, and a host of other contributors. We could be investing those funds into saving Americans, not providing for foreigners.

    It is amazing to see the differences that people can make when donations are made, or even driving homeless people to a shelter to help them get their feet back on the ground.
  •  
    This is a great resource for the homeless. My family and I put on a Christmas party for the needy every year and we always invite the people from the mission. The Mission feeds and supplies a place for them to sleep at night.
  •  
    It's so heartbreaking to know that people have to dig through the trash to just get some "food". I don't think anyone wants to be homeless I think that people get to a low and have a hard time picking themselves up. It's the volunteers and organizations who give a helping hand out to get these people back up.
  •  
    Homelessness is something every state has, weather its minimal or like Arizona ranking the 15th highest in the U.S. This article displays information on the different parts of AZ; Maricopa leading with 61% of the 71% of homeless people. This includes, families, single moms with children, and mainly men. In detail, it also list the main reasons people become homeless.

Raising the Minimum Wage Won't Reduce Inequality - 0 views

  •  
    Christos Makridis, the author of this article, through his research has discovered that raising the minimum wage does not improve the issue of inequality in America, but that it has a negative impact on the workers it attempts to help. The author explains this negative impact by giving examples such as employers reducing hours which causes a lack of skill development due to lack of hours, also employers will not be able to have many incentives for new employees. The author suggested ways for reducing inequality in the latter half of his article by giving business more freedom in determining the wages and that businesses would educate their employees in an effort to increase their profitability and thus raising the wages of their employees.
