Also, do you think that poor people might be more involved parents if they didn't have to spend so much time dealing with poverty (for example, working multiple jobs with irregular hours and long commutes, or housing insecurity, or food insecurity)? [/quote]

Just my experience--but the kids least prepared for school are the children of the non-working.  And, sadly, the parents are frequently trading food stamps for other things.

In this case, I think the parents should have to take a mandatory parenting class to get the food stamps.[/quote]

Why should only poor parents have to take a mandatory parenting class? Are only poor parents bad parents? Are all poor parents bad parents? Are there middle-class and rich parents who are bad parents? What if you used to be middle class but then lost your job and needed food stamps -- do you suddenly become a bad parent? And then if you find another job and don't need food stamps again, you become a good parent again?[/quote]
