Men struggled to maintain and find jobs to support his family, and women struggled to put food on the table and care for her children with the little or no money that the men brought home. Many schools were forced to close down because the lack of money to stay open, three million children between seven and seventeen had to leave school and almost 40% young people between the ages of 16 to 24 were not working nor in school.

FARM students score lower than the overall average in both reading and math in 8th and 4th grade. This is probably due to the fact that families in lower income have a lower vocabulary, less education, and less parental support due to the fact that both parents are probably working as many hours as possible. Research proves that students who are living in poverty prior to entering school their oral language is more limited then those raised in a higher social economic status. African American students are disproportionately represented in the FARMS population in our area, mainly because they are half our population and in turn a high percentage of our FARM students. This could partially explain the low performance of African American students when compared to Caucasians.
Inclusive learning in environmental education Lessons should be suitable and include all different types of learners such as learners that have limitations example: learners who can’t see or walk as well as learners with different cultures, languages, religions and different backgrounds.

People are struggling to survive everyday because they have no food and shelter. These people may always dig through the trash to find something to eat for the day, not knowing if they will find anything. Families may always live in horrible conditions, having no other choice, because they do not have enough money. It’s extremely hard for them to find well paying jobs in these countries. For most of these people it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty because they were born and raised in that culture, unless other people who aren’t in poverty help them out.
Unemployed parents could not pay for food or water, nor could they pay for clothing and shelter, and as a result, innocent children suffered. Incapable of providing for their families, many fathers became frustrated, and simply abandoned them, leaving them to fend for themselves. Other times, young children were left homeless, having no one to care for them. During the height of the Great Depression, at least 200000 young people and 25000 families roamed the country, in search of food. These alarming statistics show just how greatly the Depression did actually impact
Growing up in a town that is heavily populated with low income families, I felt like I had seen most of the struggles first hand not knowing all the issues behind and kept inside the homes of each family. I feel like it is a major issue in America and not enough is being done to help stop it. Food availability is something that goes at the top of the chain. If food is not available then hunger sets in, which results in not getting adequate nutrition. Even though that is a simple chain it causes a tremendous amount of health issues for many
The lack of motivation caused by years of not having a job and watching your family suffer in poverty is a condition that not too many of us are familiar with. “Native American Poverty,” by Tom Rodgers justifies the allegations that a large percentage, about 25%, of the Native Americans live in poverty. “According to the US Census Bureau, these Americans earn a median annual income of $33,627. One in every four (25.3 percent) lives in poverty and nearly a third (29.9 percent) are without health insurance coverage.” The lack of money has become a huge component in the dismemberment of the culture that the Natives so lavishly submerged themselves into, and the picking up other undesirable traits such as drinking. The
As well as the living and food conditions being substandard, that was also the case for the education. It was not the high-class or even regular standard education level that the European children received, so once the aboriginal children were out of school it was very challenging for them to live in the mainstream European society. Being that the children were are the school for ten months of the year they also lacked a sense of family and community living. The children were always separated by gender and so if you had a sibling of the opposite gender you rarely got the chance to talk to them. The lack of family living skills can also be blamed on the fact that the schools taught the children to only speak in English, so when they went home they were unable to communicate with their family as they lost their native language.
The food supplies in adolescent’s households are scarce and they depend on friends and relatives to provide their meals. They turned to government assistances for help. Food stamp cards and welfare checks are provided in low income homes when the adult is high school dropout.
