EDUCATION LEVELS:
--Many times children who are sent to under resourced schools can delay the child’s academic skills.
--In many cases children from low SES communities have higher drop-out rates and illiteracy.
--Parents have less time availability to provide children with academic support.--Learning rates and school conditions contribute more to the SES differences than family characteristics.
--Emotional and behavior problems also affect school success. Children who did not sleep well had more internalizing and externalizing
behavior problems two years later, and lower SES children were at greatest risk
--Each urban site brought up the problem of children having to discontinue schooling due to the unaffordability of educational costs: “When we can’t find food to feed them twice a day, schooling is not possible to think about”.
