The article I chose to write about is, Nine Powerful Practices, by Ruby Payne. In her article, Ruby Payne focuses on 9 strategies to help low-income students raise achievement. This article relates to sociology by intertwining with the function of education and social class. Ruby Payne believed that kids who grow up poor are more likely to have less educational background and that teachers can help to improve and ensure that these kids are more likely to overcome these challenges. In Ruby Paynes opinion, teachers can change a low income students life just by establishing mutual respect.

According to the National Foster Parent Association to the 1500s, when the law allowed poor children to be placed into indentured facilities until they came of age. It was the poor English Law that lead to the development and regulation of family foster care. Indentured facilities allowed abuse and mistreatment, even though it was a step forward from almshouses (charitable homes that were built for poor people to live in) where children didn’t learn a trade and were open to terrible surroundings. This was a time it where children were placed in foster homes because their parents were deceased not because they were abused since it was socially accepted. Charles Loring Brace a minister and a director of the New York Children’s Aid Society began the free foster care movement in 1853 because he was troubled by many children sleeping in the streets.
