A Framework for Understanding Poverty Reflection

The major themes from the reading are language, hidden class rules, and the structure of school and business aligning with hidden middle-class rules. Dr. Payne discusses three aspects of language: registers of language, discourse patterns, and story structure. There are five registers of language: frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. These registers of language impact student achievement. According to Dr. Payne, many students of low income or poverty do not have access to formal register in the home environment and therefore, have a difficult time on statewide assessments such as the SAT and ACT. Students are unable to use formal register because they do not have the vocabulary …show more content…

The majority of individual in poverty remain in poverty because they do not know the hidden rules and resources to attain a better living by providing students with the support system that is needed will allow them to be successful and fully access instruction. According to Dr. Payne, the teaching of procedural self-talk, planning, goal setting, coping strategies, appropriate relationships, options during problem-solving, access to information and know-how, and providing connections to additional resources will increase academic achievement. I too believe these strategies will enhance student success by allowing the students to have the playbook to middle-class rules. This will allow students to maintain their cultural norms and use mainstream middle-class norms in school and business settings. I believe we have to teach students to be chameleons and have the ability to camouflage in every environment (i.e. home, school) to be successful, this way students are not wronged about their beliefs or norms but are taught how to be successful in mainstream middle-class

  • Summary Of Ruby Payne's Framework

    468 Words  | 2 Pages

    One main pattern throughout Ruby Payne’s framework is her use and ability to create broad and incorrect systems. These systems include Payne’s concepts of class, race, and the culture of poverty. Payne constructed her framework to be easily understood, so she decided to discuss only three socioeconomic classes (p. 3). These three classes are poverty, middle class, and wealthy (Payne, p. 42-43). When teaching children about social classes we usually tell them these three classes, and this is because it is simple to understand.

A person’s language, skin color as well as economic status influences the way he or she is perceived by others.

  • Low Income Inequality

    148 Words  | 1 Pages

    I believe students from low-income communities face a huge challenge that results from inequalities in wealth distribution. Poor communities lack of distribution of resources that mainly benefit kids, women and the ederly. It is sad to see that to the world our country is presented at "the land of the opportunities," but in reality, there is little chance for poor people to enjoy of those "scarce opportunities. " There are many ways in which the academic potential of a student living in these communities can be affected. For instance, a high school student who was exposed to math textbooks in his childhood because his or her community lacks of government resources, may face many difficulties and low performance in this subject.

  • Poverty And Education In Mississippi

    1241 Words  | 5 Pages

    Education in poverty-stricken areas is a luxury that many people do not receive and has always been a fight from the beginning of Mississippi’s historical roots. The battle for adequate education began over the issue of segregation and continues to hinder teens’ ability to learn. One of the reasons that education is unsatisfactory in many parts of Mississippi is because education and poverty are interrelated. Poverty has a negative impact on the student’s achievements and academic success and puts them at disadvantages for their futures. Although Mississippi is notorious for its major issues, the correlation of poverty and education have persisted as some of the most pressing issues that require immediate attention.

  • Summary Of The Lesson By Toni Cade Bambara

    975 Words  | 4 Pages

    “The Lesson”, by Toni Cade Bambara, is a short story which shows that while education is a powerful and essential tool for changing one’s circumstances when it comes to social status, it is ultimately how we are affected internally by the things we learn that matters the most. It isn’t as simple as merely being educated or working hard. Hard work doesn’t necessarily guarantee success, and education doesn’t necessarily influence change. The psychological effects of poverty can lead individuals to feel trapped in their circumstances, and oftentimes an equal amount of luck is needed in addition to hard work, emotional and mental resilience, and education to overcome the obstacles to financial security. Economic status can cause people to feel

    507 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the passage “What is poverty?”, the author Jo Goodwin Parker, describes a variety of things that she considers to portray the poverty in which she lives in. She seems to do this through her use of first-person point of view to deliver a view of poverty created by a focused use of rhetorical questions, metaphors, imagery, and repetition to fill her audience with a sense of empathy towards the poor. The author’s use of first person point of view creates the effect of knowing exactly what she is feeling. “The baby and I suffered on. I have to decide every day if I can bear to put my cracked hands into the cold water and strong soap.”

    1984 Synthesis Essay Poverty negatively influences how the minds of people work in the world. The fact that poverty exists itself, obstructs people from changing their circumstances in what is known as “the cycle of poverty.” The lower class is incredibly disadvantaged in that it lacks the necessary social and economic resources needed to increase chances of social mobility. In return, the absence of these resources may increase poverty. Therefore, the lower class is unable to change its situation because the majority believes that any efforts to climb the social ladder is highly inefficient.
