2015). My claim is to provide an explanation on how poverty affects American students and their education. One out of every 18th person in the U.S. still lives under the poverty line (Bishwa A. 2012). A big reason why many Americans are dropping down to the lower class is due to divorce, and getting laid off, as factories upgrade their competition, and stock prices by relocating jobs overseas. So how does low income affect their children's?

Children of impoverished families typically stay in a cycle of poverty because the quality of education in lower class communities is so poor. Barbara Comber shows support of this idea when she states that “improv[ing] educational outcomes…will improve economic conditions for everyone, and thereby eradicate poverty and inequality” (394). Having access to a high quality education system, no matter which societal class one belongs to, is crucial to breaking the poverty cycle within a country. Additionally, Patricia Briscoe argues the same thing on a global scale: “education plays an increased and pivotal role in the challenge to improve global societies” (5). Her belief that education can break the poverty cycle of the world is another thing we have learned in this course.

Children are born into poverty and are more likely to develop learning disabilities, have less parent-child interactions, and have a lower academic performance compared to those children not living in poverty (Brooks-Gunn, J., & Duncan, G. J, 1997). A major problem that is related to those living in poverty is illiteracy. Adults living in poverty tend to have higher rates of illiteracy compare to those adults not living in poverty.

For my internship I work in a low-income school system, I really wanted to dive into what and how this has a role to play in brain and education. The major question that I feel needs to be answered in order to continue this research project is: has been shown to negatively influence child brain development, thus interfering with their success in the academic setting? There are many environmental factors that influence how a child’s brain develops before the age of six. These effects include prenatal care, health conditions, and poor school readiness skills in their language.
