Sometimes I realized that kindergarten would be closing soon, and I would run there in fear that I would be late and little Anna would be the last child left in the kindergarten. I was very surprised, though, to find that there were still many children whom parents had not picked up yet. It is mentioned in the Robert Levine’s and Ellen Wolff’s article that “no dictionary clearly defines the meaning of ‘early’ or’ late’ ” (p. 75). It is also illustrated by their research, which shows how differently students in the American and Brazilian universities interpret such terms as “late” and “early” when Brazilian students
Since 1971 education cost has increased from $4,300 to more than $9,000 per student. As seen in Bianca's case, her mother cannot afford to pay for her tuition and Daisy's father is unemployed. These kids are forced into "bad education." Some students do not have any aspirations. They live in a neighborhood full of crime therefore their main focus is survival instead of learning.

Wes Moore grows up under very poor conditions, and barely makes it by with his small family. Wes' mother is forced to drop out of school, and forfeit getting an education, to keep food on the table for her kids, and because Wes' father has been out of the picture for several years now, there is no other source of income for the poor family. Wes tries to stay strong despite all the bad things in his life, and pushes through days looking for the light at the end of the tunnel to solve all his problem. When Wes heads off to private school years later, he is at first passing classes and learning at a steady pace. However, when his life at home becomes too much to handle along with school, Wes takes a fall and fails out of private school.
The lack of education leads to further development of barriers such as a financial barrier and poor lifestyle that makes them unable to provide for themselves and their child. Most jobs that do not require a high school diploma only offer a minimum wage and do not offer adequate benefits to meet all medical needs. “key indicators of health, infant mortality rates and low-birth weight rates, were elevated when infants were born to mothers who were less educated” (Flores et al,1998). Considering that statement I believe that the biggest barrier affecting this vulnerable population’s health is education. Vulnerable mothers that do not finish getting their education become discouraged and loose the motivation and drive to tackle the oncoming challenges that life brings, creating for them another barrier on the micro level; it being a financial barrier.

Geoffrey Canada- “I was crying because there was no one coming with enough power to save us.” “Because when there’s a great public school, there isn’t enough space, and so we do what’s fair, we place our children and their future in the hands of luck.” “This thing is an utter failure.” Since 1971education spending in the US has risen from 4300 dollars to more than 9000 per student Describe school to me from the inside Walking in you’ll see a desk with a security guard 3rd largest overcrowded school in the district.

Among these people, the number of emergent Asian immigrants were fewer, so no position has been established and they always has been faced discrimination. As time has passed, generations of their children, grandchildren increased, and now they were encountering more complicated, various problems such as a feud with parents' generation, discrimination among Asian Americans, and lack of recognition of individuality. They were all educated in English, drinking coffee in the morning, and holding American citizenship, however, they had to feel inferiority by calling “Chosen-jin” with contempt or had to be confined in a concentration camp with giving up all property. Although these unfortunate treatments have been improved year by year, it still remains deeply rooted in people's mind and distress them like Faye or Ichiro. Over over, they are always fighting with the dilemma, which cannot be defined but cannot clearly be denied.
Poverty is known to be the major cause of school dropouts. The inability to pay school tuitions and fees, to purchase books, and to have the opportunity to enroll in good high schools and universities lead people harshly to leave school. In addition, recent research reveals that a huge amount of school dropouts is the result of poverty, and it does not enable people to enroll in good high school and universities, whereas government is putting a blind eye. In fact, we can notice a lot of poor people in the rural regions who are complaining most of the time that they do not have enough money to afford tuitions simply because these families earn the minimum salary. Students who live and study in an unusual way cannot outperform at school, and this is one reason in which students decide to leave school.
