Analysis Of The Circuit Baceros
How would life be like if you were poor and was not as smart like the other kids? Being poor is not easy. You don’t have a lot of money for school. That’s lack of education. In the Circuit “Baceros” Which mean Hispanic farm workers would work 12 hour a day and not get pay enough. Most of them were poor.
Without money you can not get education. In the story the circuit Panchito said “I open the door to our shack, I saw that everything we owned was neatly packed in cardboard boxes. This supporting detail from the text because from the quote you can tell that he's poor and he's moving so he has to start all over in learning again. Also another supporting detail was when Panchito said “When we arrived home,we took a shower underneath a waterhouse.

    Review of "Ordinary Resurrections" by Jonathan Kozol

    The children in this book at times seem wise beyond their years. They are exposed to difficult issues that force them to grow up very quickly. Almost all of the struggles that the children face stem from the root problem of intense poverty. In Mott Haven, the typical family yearly income is about $10,000, "trying to sustain" is how the mothers generally express their situation. Kozol reports "All are very poor; statistics tell us that they are the poorest children in New York." (Kozol 4). The symptoms of the kind of poverty described are apparent in elevated crime rates, the absence of health care and the lack of funding for education.…

    Commentary On Other People's Children By Jonathan Kozol

    In his writing about the ‘Other People’s Children’, Jonathan describes the views that people gives to those children who study in the abandoned schools that they view as educationally inferior. He discloses the argument from many who consider these children not to qualify for any post high school education. Therefore, the only solution for these inner-city school children is to acquire training for low-level jobs that they will eventually do. They are not privileged as the wealthy suburban that are capable of going to colleges and becoming better people in the future. Kozol states that those giving such opinions about these children are the same people against the idea of spending much money on educating the poor inner city children. He states that the underprivileged children and…

    Wes Moore's The Other Wes Moore

    These two different topics can easily go hand in hand with each other. Some may not realize it but your level of poverty, whether you are in any way poor or whether you are not even close to it, can truly affect your education. When schools are in a poorer district, that can have a drastic effect in the school. They wouldn’t have the same technology or programs as other schools may have. But that doesn’t always mean they can not have the same opportunities as other kids; It’s all about how they make the most of what they have. Both Wes Moore’s grew up in a very poor and dangerous area, but they did not end up the same way. One decided to take charge in his life and became a Scholar, decorated war veteran, and a White House Fellow. His mother worked very hard to allow him to get all the opportunities that he ended with. She worked multiple jobs to provide for her kids to go to private schools. Moore’s mother didn’t allow him to fall into the “thug” lifestyle. She refused to allow her children, and herself, to fall into the lifestyle of those around them. On the other hand, the other Wes Moore did not have as great of a turn out. His mother simply did not have the drive that the other mother did. She allowed her kids to be immersed into the world where violence and crime was okay. Wes’ mother allowed the poverty and crime around consume and define…

    Oak Cliff High School

    In Nimitz High school, Aaron explained how there were several refugees coming into the community that was poor and financially disadvantaged. Due to that, the percentage of economically disadvantaged families rose from 14-60%. Academics began to deteriorate as standardized test scores were dropping and Aaron made a statement that his family was going to relocate to another community to provide the better education for his siblings. In South Oak Cliff High school, the population of the community was 90% black and Latino. Characteristics that shifted due to the population was that 80% of families were economically disadvantaged and it had the poorest neighborhoods. There were several gangs and drugs in the community; therefore, the school had a 60% of students drop out. Lastly, in W.W Samuel High school, there was a large percentage of Latinos, and several of them did not know English. The school had to have specialized classes and teachers; however, the dropout rate was still significant. Apparently, reasons for students dropping out of school were because of the language barrier and students valuing family over education; which meant they left school early to find fast…

    CYPOP 17

    Education – Research tells us that children and young people from poor families are lower down in their levels of education across all stages of the curriculum. A gap of nine months (on average) in learning shows poorer children to be behind that of Children coming from wealthy families when both groups of children are only 3 years of age (the brain is at this age is 80% developed). This gap increases as children remaining in poverty become older when compared to children of the same age that come from more affluent backgrounds. By the age of 11 Children who receive free school meals (sometimes their only meal of the day as children can suffer from malnutrition as a result of poverty) are estimated to be nearly 3 times behind that of children classed as living outside of poverty and alarmingly as the child becomes older the gap in attaining a good level of education increases until they finish secondary school.…

    Human Services History

    As parents, we raise our children the way we were raised. The poor are usually uneducated and socially handicapped. Therefore, they don’t have the tools to train their children to be successful and independent. They don’t encourage their children to get a higher education. So the economically challenged parents raise children who are usually financially challenged. Schools need to start talking to middle school students about higher education…

    Native American Alcoholism

    At the school on the Rez, Junior is the smartest kid by far. But at Reardan there are students who know more. That helps Junior get challenged. Gordy, one of if not the smartest kid in the school, helps Junior out.“Gordy taught me how to study. Best of all he taught me how to read”(Alexie 94.) Gordy knows more than Junior. So Gordy helps Junior out and he is someone Junior can learn from. It also shows that Junior likes that there is someone who is better than him and can challenge him when he says, “Best of all.” Which is a phrase you would use if you were excited about something. Junior had someone that was smarter than him. That didn't hold him back it did the opposite. He had Gordy pushing him because he knew more than Junior. In an interview with Diane Sawyer, a young Indian boy with high hopes for the future describes how being poor will help you in life.“My uncle told me there's going to be a muddy road and an easy road. The rich kid takes the easy road and the poor kid takes the muddy rough road. And they're building up strength the whole time.” (Sawyer 8:10 .)Rich people have more privilege and they have it easier. Poor kids have less privilege and they have it harder. But poor kids get strength from having to work harder to get what they want. It also shows how his uncle is really influencing him to work hard and telling him that hard work pays off. Since the poor kids have to work harder they become better people and warriors. The rich kids are considered a better class, so they don't have to work as hard. In the future, the poor kids will have learned more than the rich kids. The uncle is also a very positive role model and he’s helped this boy have…

    Poverty in America

    Poverty in America

    When children are born into poverty, it is the only life they know. They often grow up to either see life from the viewpoint of, “that’s just the way it is,” or become determined to better their status when they are old enough to do so. Children don’t often realize they live in poverty until they are told by their peers, such as when they are called poor and see people taking pity on them or make fun of them. They may also realize they are different when they are exposed to what other people have and realize that they have much less. As noted in Poverty in America, poverty level, in itself, is merely based on an income deficit, whereas one’s household receives less money than another; it also relates to the standard of living (Census, pg. 300). When one has less income, less things are afforded, however living within those means will often create or hide the barrier that is poverty. While one family may learn to utilize their resources effectively and appropriate funds where they belong, another will attempt to make fast money such as through crime or gambling. As in the story of the Glass Castle, the father spends the…

    Social Class in Great Expectation

    A person’s social class determined the amount of education they had. A person like Joe who was a common blacksmith had no education at all, and Pip had poor education at a small school when he was in the early days of being a lower class. The teachers barely gave effort to educating the lower class kids, spending more time sleeping than teaching, and Pip had learned more from Biddy than from the actual teacher. Even though Pip had an education when he was a low class, his education with Mr.Pocket was much greater. Another example of how social class affects education is the difference of education between the two convicts. Magwitch, born poor and low class had no education at all while Compeyson, born rich was high class and a gentleman with an education. Education is a factor in showing how social class greatly determined people’s lives.…
