Stereotypes of People in Poverty - 10 views

This is basicly breaking the stereotypes that some people think of others who are in poverty. I really amazed me how common poverty is. I used to think it was made-up.

I love how this site breaks so many stereotypes of people in poverty. When you general think about poverty, you think of "Hobo's" or a dingy, dirty white guy with fingerless gloves and a sign. This hows that not all poor people are like that, only a tiny percentage are. -
i think this article was pretty interesting...it really did break a lot of stereotypes like how people in poverty don't have jobs-a lot of them actually do. they just don't pay enough.

Causes of Poverty - 0 views

This is a short, simplen paragraph, that does exactly what the title says. It really made me upset reading it, because poverty happens everywhere, and can happen to anyone. Sometimes, it isn't anyone's fault. Some people are born into it. And poverty can be a result of no enough education. I feel very fortunate that both my parents have good jobs, and are educated. I know that some people aren't that lucky.

POVERTY: K through homeless - 4 views

This article is about a woman in New York who helps children who are homeless get free and reduced lunches, transportation and immediate enrollment.

I think what Miss Kilduff is doing is very unselfish--a great quality! It's a shocking fact that there are 51,316 homeless students in NYC alone! And 1.1 million in the entire state of New York! It's not hard to believe that poverty exists in such a city, but the numbers are outstanding. I really hope that Kilduff keeps up her work, and inspires others to reach out, too. -
I very much agree with Roseann Kilduff. I used to go to a private school which people are not that wealthy but are not in poverty. Now in a public school, I found out it's very different. Their are people I know that are in poverty which has opened my eye more to reality. Poverty is scene daily, even if others don't recognize it.
