The article begins by addressing poverty within public schools. It states that of all students attending public school in 2015, over half were receiving free or reduced lunch. The data shows that public schools are educating an increased amount of low-income students. With that, comes students with varying needs such as medical problems, behavioral issues, and additional academic support. With an increase of students of need, our country is failing to provide schools and educators what they need in order to support their education. It’s pivotal that these schools that encompass low-income students are provided with the resources to prepare every student. The lack of funding and resources is alarming because as more districts serve low-income students, there’s concern regarding sufficient funds. (Word Count: 147)]]> 2020-12-15 22:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kus1656/el0f7ry28ljfndse/wish/1022198922 What is poverty? https://padlet.com/kus1656/el0f7ry28ljfndse/wish/1025505600 2020-12-16 19:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kus1656/el0f7ry28ljfndse/wish/1025505600 Measure of Center https://padlet.com/kus1656/el0f7ry28ljfndse/wish/1025639186 Mean - 30.483%
