They may be less likely to achieve as well at school due to lack of space at home to complete homework. This could result in low expectations of themselves. Housing and Community- Poor housing can affect a child's development. Living in a community where children experience anti-social behaviour can lead to families being isolated and children may not speak to their parents. This could also make it difficult to access education and children may get excluded from school due to behaviour.
In her article, Dowd argues against the use of such application like RoomBug and website like URoomSurf.com by claiming that, first of all, being able to choose their own roommates would block out the opportunity for students to mature socially. She contends that being put into the same dorm room with people students don’t like or find it difficult to live which can “toughen you[the student] up and broaden you[the students] out for the rest of your[the students’] life”. However, though the statement is true in some parts, the writer has overlooked another crucial point: a dormitory is not the only place people can learn how to live with others. Students have to communicate with other people apart from their roommates in daily life. For example, students will need to converse and work with other students while preparing for a group presentation, discussing with their teachers after class about
Other disadvantages from this situation can be that sometimes a single parent can’t afford expensive holidays which would make the child feel left out when they are talking about events when after coming back from their holidays and are asked to write or tell about what happened during the school holidays. The child will lose their self confidence and moral will be low if all the factors above do occur, they may also get jealous of other children who could be in a better situation because of the financial stability brought by having both the parents being together. Example 2: Children moving form Reception to Juniors most parents and children get worried about how they will fit into new environments, with children older then their own, not knowing how and what is required of them to which can cause both parent and child to feel insecure by not sleeping well and having nightmares, not eating food, and as the time gets closer the child will start to be more clingy towards the parent and vice versa for the parent
In addition of going to school, working class students also have to get a job to be able to help out their families. Working class students have always struggled to get by during their years in college but most of these students have families who support their dreams of coming out of poverty and become somebody with no pressures. However there are also students who lack family support and deal with these issues alone throughout college. According to the New York Times article For Poor, Leap to College Often Ends in a Hard Fall, “Likely reasons [that low income students drop out of college]
This is a major difference that is a tough transition for some. Having a roommate involves giving up certain areas of the room for your roommate to have as their own. Conversely, the difference at home is that you can organize your room however you want without worrying about pleasing others. When having a roommate a person also has to be considerate of their time and sleep. If you are on a different schedule then your roommate, you must respect them by keeping your volume down at certain times, whether it’s in the morning or at night.
Students are able to do much more because they are home and not living on campus where there are a lot of rules. Commuting students have a considerable amount of freedom. It is a different type of freedom because living on campus students do not have to worry about their parents. A commuter can go back and forth and does not have to worry about the rules living on campus. So students living in dorms do not really have to worry about traveling back and forth to school, and they do not have a lot of time to themselves vs. a commuter but they both have a share of responsibility.
Then the student decides to drop to a part-time worker, register for less class hours to find more time to work on improving their grades. But what they soon fail to realize, is that now they will have to hold off on graduation a little longer. Also there are other students who just can’t afford the expenses of college, so they may end up dropping out before they even reach the second semester. These are all real examples of what many college students go through, across the
From a social stand point, this type of student could be bullied, have conflicts at home, or be influenced by some other outside force. The Barely Get By students are by far a puzzle and could be really smart and could be just as smart if not smarter than the Teacher’s Pet. Shyness or being uncomfortable in a class could be the reason that this student is holding back but ultimately, the true person inside can’t be determined by a grade in some

During summer when students’ have tones of homework, they become stressful and they began to worry about finishing it before summer vacation is over. Kids’ could go mad or crazy, because they have a pile of homework waiting for them to finish.
Once I began attending the new school things were difficult because my new teacher was completely different from my previous teacher. I would get into trouble for not following directions and it was also difficult for me to make new friends at such a young age. I feel the difficulty of making friends was in some ways contributed to because of the tight bonds my siblings and had. Sibling relationships are less vulnerable to negative effects of conflict than friendships are perhaps the involuntary nature of sibling relationships heightens tolerance of negative affect (Hartup & Laurens, 1993; Katz et al. 1992) Having the closeness somewhat deterred us from seeking friendships outside of our comfort zone.
