    this article has a suprising chart that shows the difference in poverty rates between a married couple with kids and a single mother with the same amount of kids
  • Liu D on 14 Jan 11
     
    Do you think that even if a single mother had a good education she would still be in poverty? I think so IFF the child or children could take care of themselves long enough for the mother to find a decent job to support the family.
  • Costello R on 14 Jan 11
     
    that very interesting. i never would have thought that married families are at less risk of poverty affecting them, but now that i think about it i guess they could both work and would get more money then one person.

    Basicly if you get questions right it donates 10 grains of rice to needy countries for every question you answer right. I thought it was a really good idea. I wonder who came up with it.

    Wow. This is awesome! Just by taking a quiz I am helping the world. I think this is a great idea.
  • Cook A on 13 Jan 11
     
    i think its really cool how people come up with ideas like quizes because it allows people to have fun and still give back. you might think that a couple grains of rice is nothing but to some people, that could be a lot of food.
  • Estice H on 13 Jan 11
     
    Whoever thought of this is a genius. It's great to know that I am helping people in need, and it's really fun too!
  • Omar H on 13 Jan 11
     
    I was very suprised to see that someone came up with something like that. I think its a good way to donate rice. No cost and its fun.

  • Kading R on 13 Jan 11

  • Mullet K on 13 Jan 11
     
    I've used this site many times before. It's cool because they have rice to donate, but you can help by answering simple questions. I see a lot of people in class doing it, and it's cool that we're all donating rice!!! :)
  • Sun K on 13 Jan 11
     
    that's really cool that they're donating rice for really easy questions.
  • Walouke A on 13 Jan 11
     
    I have done this before. I think it's pretty amazing how much people can donate just by playing this game. This helps people in poverty so even though it's not an article, this helps so many people. :)
  • Bolon T on 13 Jan 11
     
    This is a really cool website and i loved how while learning stuff you get to help people in need.
  • Shockley L on 13 Jan 11
     
    I agree with everyone. Ive done this before and I think its really cool how you can help people by answering questions. It is also fun and you are helping make a difference.
  • Phillips L on 13 Jan 11
     
    Wow, this makes me want to keep playing. This is a genius idea, and it makes a big impact. Imagine if this website was broadcasted over the news, so many people would feel obligated to donate.
  • Mendez V on 13 Jan 11
     
    I like this article because i think it's cool how you can donate rice that's really interesting
  • Strauss V on 13 Jan 11
     
    just think of all the people we can help if everyone donates and takes the quiz. We can help make an effort to make a difference to people in poverty. They should have more websites like this. Something for like homeless people. Everytime you answer something, something can be donated to a homelss shelter or something. I dont know, sounds good to me.
  • Kelly S on 13 Jan 11
     
    Its so nice that you can take a quiz and donate rice at the same time.
  • Borror D on 13 Jan 11
     
    I don't get how I donate rice by taking a quiz... But alright...
  • Costello R on 13 Jan 11
     
    This is a very very fun game, i got to donate over 500 grains of rice :)
  • Korn A on 13 Jan 11
     
    I donated over 520 grains of rice. The only one I missed was obligatory what does that mean?
  • Bloom A on 14 Jan 11
     
    thats a really cool website. Imagine if everyone did it just a couple times a week it could really help countries that are really struggeling with poverty.
  • Goldblum J on 14 Jan 11
     
    I really like this website, how you can donate grains of rice for answering questions. It's like a two way street. People in poverty get rice while we get to learn. I just wish they had some harder questions. These are too easy for me. but i did donate 530 grains of rice!
  • Anders P on 14 Jan 11
     
    That's a good way to help. It's entertaining for the viewer/player as well as helpful. Navigating the site you're bound to learn more about the hungry and poor.
  • Sawyer T on 14 Jan 11
     
    Wow this was really a good idea! i donated 720 grain of rice :) This was really fun and however thought of this idea, it was a really good one! Godd article Marlee!
  • Mousou M on 14 Jan 11
     
    i like the quiz, but i don't know if they actually donating rice. if they do donate rice i think it is a smart idea, but if they don't donate rice, then what is the point?
  • Matson K on 14 Jan 11
     
    This website is sweet! I think this was a really cool way to start fighting poverty while learning new things. It does go slowly but i will definatly do this again sometime.
  • Roesch D on 14 Jan 11
     
    This is awesome. I'm enjoying helping people by just answering questions. I hope that is true that they will donate the rice.
  • Brown A on 14 Jan 11
     
    I took the quiz and donated 1000 grains of rice LITERALLY. That is also a great way to fight poverty and it is a awesome idea. But they should have more publicity to get to millions more people.
  • Stonerook J on 14 Jan 11
     
    I donated 500 grains of rice by answer 50 questions in a row. This is a great idea, because it gives people a game that teaches them, and they're also helping to feed the less fourtunate! I wonder what other ideas we could spin off of this?
  • Pavlechko M on 14 Jan 11
     
    Duuuddeee! We should totally try to like tell the seventh graders about this and like make them take it! We could have like a day of like donating rice (:
  • Pawluk M on 14 Jan 11
     
    This is a great website to do something simple to help out families in need. Even though it's only 10 grains of rice per question that can add up very quickly.

    Ohio has the top 3 poorest cities. i thought that ohio had tones of money before this came up. Its sad that Ohio can't help the people in those city. Why can't we lower the taxes or something like that to help the people that need it.

  • Buchbinder A on 11 Jan 11
     
    I was supried when i found out that the top 10 poorest cities, three are in Ohio are Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo. I meen those are mentioned all the time for art shows and cool events and to think that they are poor?!! wow!
  • Semmelroth R on 12 Jan 11
     
    this article is about how 1in 5 Marion County residence went into poverty last year. and how bad the economy has effected Ohio
  • Plummer H on 12 Jan 11
     
    i agree with adele about the cool events. I drive though cinncinati a couple times a year and i see the big stadium plus i have family down there who are dintist so i never would have thought it would be one of the more poor cities in ohio. I also can't believe clevland because its up by lake errie and i travle there too and i would think they would have more job opertunities from working the ferries or working at cedier point.But i guess thats why its so shocking to me.
  • Foster H on 12 Jan 11
     
    it terrible that all of this is happening in the U.S but also in our own state, and in the cities around us. it was sad that even though people had a job, they were living paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes jobs help you, but sometimes they don't. nice artical ryan.
  • Brown B on 12 Jan 11
     
    I never really thought that ohio had alot of poverty! I was suprised that Cleveland, Cincinnati. and toledo are listed in the top 10 of poor cities. I am hoping that we can whip this country back into shape before eerything goes down!
  • Demmler A on 12 Jan 11
     
    this amazed me that no other state has more than one city that is in poverty. Coming from the state ohio, living in columbus, i had no idea toledo, cleveland, and cincinnati was in poverty.
  • Borror D on 12 Jan 11
     
    This article is about how poverty in Ohio is growing really fast. I was pretty dang surprised at the numbers when the article told how fast poverty is growing. I think it's a really good 'cause there's a lot of good information!
  • Haines M on 12 Jan 11
     
    This article really surprised me. I couldn't believe that Ohio has the most cities in poverty! I never really thought that our state was really poor, until I read this article.
  • Hyre A on 12 Jan 11
     
    I always thought Ohio didnt have a lot of poverty, but that is just becasue I'm protected from it, so i never see it. this is a huge eye opener because even working families in Ohio arent doing well financially.
  • Phillips L on 12 Jan 11
     
    It was shocking that Ohio has three of the poorest cities in all of America. That's like 1/3 of the top ten are where we live... Disturbing.
  • Borror D on 12 Jan 11
     
    woah dude! I thought that we were kinda rich.... But I guess not o_O... nice article, I learned a lot!
  • Baker M on 13 Jan 11
     
    I never knew Ohio was this bad. I thought Ohio was coming back but apparently not according to the stats.
  • Sawyer T on 13 Jan 11
     
    I was very sad to read that Ohio is three of the poorest cities in all of America. It makes me feel to do something since I live around poverty. Very eye opening!
  • Isaacson R on 13 Jan 11
     
    to be honest, it doesn't suprise me that Ohio has the top 3 poorest cities. Everyday I see people struggle.
  • Kruzan A on 13 Jan 11
     
    I can believe that Ohio has the poorest cities, but yet it still suiprises me. Deep in your head you know that people are poor, but you don't want to believe it.
  • Dendiu S on 13 Jan 11
     
    yeahh what rachel said. i mean even though i don't really see many people on the streets like you would in D.C. or chicago. but still it is very truee. :c
  • Teets S on 13 Jan 11
     
    I never thought that poverty in Ohio was this bad. I guess I just hadn't opened up my eyes to the people who are struggling. To see that our home is riddled with hardship is not only sad, but it is a monumental weight on your mind.
  • Chesser G on 13 Jan 11
     
    This doesn't suprise me. I see people on the street and in food banks.

  • Korn G on 13 Jan 11
     
    This is Crazy, In Marion The Salvation Army's food pantry served 1,020 This August. The number of people doubled from a year ago. This shows that more and more people need support, its sad

    i agree with caroline. it seems like the world is getting more expensive how will we survive when we're older. the population is getting out of hands too.
  • Walouke A on 13 Jan 11
     
    It's scary to think that Ohio is has more poor people in this year than last year. Hopefully, we can get reduce poverty levels in Ohio again.
  • Sun K on 13 Jan 11
     
    i can't believe the sitaution is so bad, and how WILL we survive? (that was supposed to be in italics) it doesn't make sense-if the world becomes poorer and poorer, then the rich become fewer and fewer, and eventually it's going to snowball and just get out of control
  • Strauss V on 14 Jan 11
     
    I was surprised to see the one of the facts said that poverty is a much more complex problem today than it was when the war on poverty began in the 1960s. I would have thought that that it would have gotten better because there were more jobs avaliable and more money. It would make sense to be bad in the 1960s because there werent a lot of jobs available. What if it keeps getting worse? What will happen in about 50 years from now? Will everybody be living in poverty? It would be helpful to find these answers out now.
  • Reed E on 14 Jan 11
     
    I think this quote hits the nail on the head. "We're seeing a different wave of people using our health centers as the recession hits people in the middle class who have recently lost their jobs," - Julie DiRossi if the economy keeps tanking the way it has been the U.S is in trouble, the majority of this country is people in the middle class and if people keep losing jobs and not being able to build the econonmy up and its just a circling problem

    This website gives good information about poverty all around the world. (ex: Africa, Europe, Asia, America.) I read the one about Africa. There biggest struggle is hunger. Food prices have risen alot in the past couple years, so its harder then ever to buy cheap food.

    I think that it's strange that it's harder for younger people to get married since usually it's the opposite. I wonder if you are well off does it affect your chances for staying with your partner?
  • Martin L on 12 Jan 11
     
    it might declan but the stress for young poor kid in love to make ends meets are usually a reason to break up. its easier to substain yourself with some nutricious than provide both of you with raman noodles. so in theory this could cause malnutrision too!

    This article is talking about the similarities and differences between the Depression and now. The author is saying how they might have had it better than us because they tried to get jobs instead of now how people just ask the government.
  • Hyre A on 12 Jan 11
     
    I know a couple people from the depression, one was affected very badly from it and one wasn't. so i have heard what it is like to live through something like that, and i cant even imagine having to. to have all your deams vanish and be depressed all the time because you can't do anything because you can't afford it.
