A person/family can experience Situational Poverty when their income and support is decreased due to a specific change—job loss, divorce, death, etc. While there can be a domino effect caused by this one significant change, families experiencing Situational Poverty tend to remain hopeful, knowing that this is a temporary setback.

Education means more stress in an already over-stressed world.
2. No purpose for education--most do not know someone who has used education to earn a living
3. Deficiency messages--lack of exposure in academic environment reinforces that others are smarter and better.
4. Educational expectations--education is not for us
5. Lack of basic needs identified by Maslow as critical to developing to your fullest potential.
