I loved her perspective and the way she made us feel in her shoes. there are many things that I never had thought about, like the fact it's a privelage to be able to live in a house with power. I liked how she approached it and her call to action

There are different levels of poverty and all of them affect people in their own context. It is important to be aware how to identify and meet their different needs based in their socioeconomic and sociopolitical context.

Knowing how society treats those in poverty is disturbing, if we are truly educated enough we would want to help more but it is sad the way some people view the subject.

Dr. Beegle's description of how poverty affected her whole life, even when she wasn't in poverty anymore, really stood out to me. For example, she talked about speaking at a fancy business and eating her food before everyone else, not realizing that she was supposed to wait till everyone had been served. This was just a simple example of how growing up in poverty means not being given the understanding needed to succeed in the middle class. This measure for success needs to change.

There are different types of poverty, and everyone experiences it differently. Poverty can really impact every part of a person's life.

I was blown away by the idea that I may have students that feel that 'no one cares, no one will help, there is no hope, they have no power, and are unable to trust' because that is what poverty does.

I loved how she said that there are reasons behind every behavior that we see.  I guess I knew that, but it has really made me stop and think about every interaction I am having with my students now.  I am really trying to think about the "why" behind how some of my students respond and behave, rather than assuming I know.

Loved the quote from Donna Beegle: “I didn’t know I wasn’t speaking middle class language, but I knew my whole life that people couldn’t hear me, because of the way I talked.” This quote stuck out to me, putting it more plainly than I’ve heard before. I keep thinking about how different her perception was shaped by those experiences she had and those she didn't.

mind blown:  School policies focus on transitioning to English ASAP.  Yet, among the middle class it is an asset!!!!!!!!  (dual language)

It is incredible to see poverty through the eyes of someone who has lived it.  I have known people who have suffered through homelessness, and or money being tight, but I've never been exposed to all of the details that she shared.  I will be more sympathetic going forward.

Situational poverty vs. generational poverty. I am beginning to see the difference in families that have been in poverty for many years and for many generations vs. a family who is in a difficult situation (such as the one described with the doctor father who passed away).

Learning English does not equal success and many in the profession think learning English means success.

I wish that the people making decisions about resources for those in poverty (welfare, food stamps, etc) Had to, at some point, try living on what they are putting in to practice. Maybe then they could see that it is no way to survive.

It made me think about what poverty really is and what it is not. I knew what poverty meant, but the chapter went into much more detail about what it actually means and looks like to live in poverty. I feel like most people are not aware of what living in poverty truly means.

Dr Beegle's description of how cyclical poverty affected EVERY aspect of life was a new way of thinking for me. That it affects nutrition, exposure to "middle-class norms," exposure to vocabulary and background knowledge, etc

I hadn't thought about how much more is involved in poverty.  It isn't just about being poor.  I was really
surprised to learn that the language for someone growing up in poverty can be different.  Also, how many people still aren't able to read and write.

I had never thought about the language used by those raised in poverty. The realization that you can only be taught what others know, including language, habits, mannerisms, etc. She used the term 'aint' as a sign of poverty

I had no idea the illiteracy numbers were so high in this country.  Dr Beegle inflated the numbers a bit by grouping "poor literacy" as "can't read", but it is still in the millions of native English speakers who can't read/write English.

The notion that children who do not speak English lack language altogether, which is entirely false.
