These lies impact the learning of these children because they are looked down on. There are these stereotypes about children living in poverty and it affects how people see them. It can also affect the children because they will always be thinking that they are being looked at as "lazy" and "disorganized". This impacts their learning because it's something that they will have more focus on. It also impacts their learning because they are not being taught what they need to be taught. They are being taught what others "think" they need to learn. They are not learning the curriculum that others are learning.

In the reading, there was much evidence that demonstrated that these are lies. Something that stood out to me was that they lack work ethic. In the reading it says that these children DO work at such a young age so it's something that they have. I have seen this with my own eyes as well. I grew up in a low-income family and my parents grew up in poverty and very poor. They started working at such a young age around 7. We go back to their country and see these kids living in poverty. I can say that these children do not lack work ethic. They grew up working and they continue to work at such a young age.

Seeing the truth can really help better the education that children who live in poverty are receiving. These children are not receiving the education they should be because others see them for things that are not true. These children have a deep devotion to education and see that getting an education can really help them get out of poverty in the future. They see that education can get them somewhere. These truths impact the education of these children and can change the perspective that others see on children who live in poverty.

In the reading, there was much evidence to back up these "truths" and showed that these are in fact true. There are many schools that treat poor parents as if they don't love or care for their children. They even have them sign "contracts" so they will monitor and supervise their child's schooling. The truth is that parents do care about their children. It's crazy to see that schools see parents this way and also recommend parents to take courses on parenting. As much as this can be seen as not true, it is. People talk down on parents who live in poverty and automatically assume that they do not know how to care for their children.

There are many lies and misconceptions about poor children and families that the author goes into detail about. A few of those are that they are lazy, disorganized, they lack work ethic, and that they don't value schooling. I think these lies and misconceptions target the child's microsystem and exosystem. In the microsystem, the child is influenced and impacted by their school, peers, family, and church. The child is surrounded by these in their everyday lives. The school could be making these assumptions on these children and that will impact the way they learn. Their peers can also be making these assumptions and that will impact the way they think and interact with others. In the exosystem, this is impacted by the school board, media, and neighborhoods.

Gorski talks about technology and how many families can't afford internet and a computer. The children were asked to raise their hands when they were asked if their homework consisted of a computer and internet. They all raised their hands. Children can't do their homework if they don't have a computer and that impact their school performance. Their grades go down for not doing it, and they don't get that extra practice on the material. I think this falls in the macrosystem of the ecological systems because it's affected by their economic status and social class.

The lies and misconceptions from Ladson-Billings and the out-of-school inequities land almost everywhere in the Bronfenbrenner model. These lies and inequities are targeted in many of the ecological systems of a child and it impacts them and their schooling. I think it is possible for teachers and schools to address these concerns. If they want the best for their students and see the potential in them, it is definitely possible.
