SHIFTS IN THINKING ABOUT POVERTY by Orla Ryan Davis https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k Please add your name to your posts en-us 2020-12-02 14:25:26 UTC 2020-12-03 00:54:51 UTC hello@padlet.com 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 kevan122 https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982184954 2020-12-03 00:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982184954 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 https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185071 Rebecca Nichols

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.]]> 2020-12-03 00:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185289 The notion that children who do not speak English lack language altogether, which is entirely false. mpkemp https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185417 2020-12-03 00:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185417 Cydnee https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185515 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.

Maybe then they could see that it is no way to survive.]]> 2020-12-03 00:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185718 Chel https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185732 Learning English does not equal success and many in the profession think learning English means success.]]> 2020-12-03 00:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185732 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). hlimbean https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185768 2020-12-03 00:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185768 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. trishagourley https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185816 2020-12-03 00:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185816 Devon https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185828 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.]]> 2020-12-03 00:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185828 Mary Ann Powles https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185865 mind blown:  School policies focus on transitioning to English ASAP.  Yet, among the middle class it is an asset!!!!!!!!  (dual language)

I keep thinking about how different her perception was shaped by those experiences she had and those she didn't.]]> 2020-12-03 00:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982185896 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. aellingson https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982186285 2020-12-03 00:44:38 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982186285 Janae H https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982186467 There are different types of poverty, and everyone experiences it differently. Poverty can really impact every part of a person's life.]]> 2020-12-03 00:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982186467 jthomas353 https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982186591 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.

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.]]> 2020-12-03 00:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982186942 Angela Provin https://padlet.com/oryandav/1ygrw1pgmflvrq6k/wish/982188010 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.

I liked how she approached it and her call to action

It is important to be aware how to identify and meet their different needs based in their socioeconomic and sociopolitical context.
