[quote=Anonymous]The PPs bring up a very good point. The thing is that not all poverty is equal, and there are times when family culture and expectations means more than how much money the family has at the moment. A kid who comes from a family with generational poverty, lots of bad behavior/role model examples and scarcity of good ones with little to no familial expectations is likely to never do well at school. A kid who is just as poor but comes from a family of recent immigrants with strong family values, importance of education and strong role models around (when the kid can see that hard work leads to success) is a lot more likely to do well at school. This is especially true when parents have at least some level of education and family poverty is mainly due to having to start over in the new country.[/quote]
