concerns: A problem/issue that individuals/families face
5. Importance/affect on
families/individuals: This affect families/individuals because so many of these
low-income student can’t speak English or barely speak any at all.
6. My input:
I feel like this is a raising issue in Texas. I am doing by internship right
now at a low-income school where 99.9% of the students live in poverty. I have
notice a few things, one being that definitely in the younger grades the students will speak Spanish over English when
taking with other classmates, which I don’t think it really ok because how are
the student supposed to learn better English skills when they are not
practicing them. Also, most of the students I work with have been held back at
least once so because they live in poverty it is effecting them in school and
in other ways of their lives. I feel that there needs to be more help for
students that live in poverty especially the once that don’t speak English years
before they start school. I also don’t think the race of the teacher matters
when teaching any child, just that the teacher is a good teacher and is willing
to do everything she can do so that every one of her students in her class can
have the ability to learn.
