[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, probably not the best choice of words but it makes sense that kids living in high proverty area might need more social and emotional support to help counter act the effects of poverty. Of course, poor kids live all throughout the city, not all poor kids are need of extra support [b]and plenty of upper SES living in SE will need support[/b], too.[/quote]  [b]Why?[/b][/quote]

Why? Because poverty takes a toll on people's psyches and well being. Children living in poverty deal with so many difficult issues and face traumatic experiences at a far greater rate than children in higher SES situation. This all has a tremendous effect on their mental and physical well being. Generally speaking, their bodies and brains are just not as ready to learn as they are processing/surviving all of the negative experiences. Not to mention dealing with poor nutrition and less sleep.

Try working in a Title one school and you will see what I mean.  [/quote]
