The answer isn’t “culture of poverty” “low morals” or “poor people just don’t care about education”
here we go:
Low-income children are more likely than their higher-income peers to be in factory-like classrooms that allow little interaction and physical movement. As a result, these children spend more time sitting, following directions and listening rather than discussing, debating, solving problems and sharing ideas.
As a teacher I hear so much about how “these parents” don’t care about learning and their children’s education. There is palatable frustration at how we can’t “deal with” the students we work with.
But there is little to be said about how our public school systems are not equipped to provide students with valuable learning experiences. Instead we are continually told we need to do more with less.
Number 1 problem: we build schools in the hood designed to control instead of teach.
