91 percent of white children aged 3 to 5 who were enrolled in kindergarten were read to by family members three or more times per week, 78 percent were read to with the same frequency (Cook, 2015). Cook also says black parents may have less access to materials, less time because of a job and family obligations, or feel less comfortable reading (Cook, 2015). Black parents are more likely to have two, lousy paying jobs instead of one well paid job. Black parents have to work twice as hard as white parents just to be able to keep their jobs and be able to support their family. As Cook said, black parents might not have the material to teach

Another major problem for college students is money. A study has been done in “Ohio University states that seven out of ten college students in the United States, are worried about their Financial” (Sonawane). According to the International Business Time they did a study that the “National Student Financial Wellness showed that about 60% of college students were stressed out because they don 't have enough money to pay for studies another forty percent were worried about having not enough money to pay for expense and students abandon their studies because of debt”(Sonawane). Another problem for college students is getting a job. People that are just getting out of college usually have to get jobs most of them already have jobs but they might need more money so they would have to get two or three jobs.

Some families end up getting loans but it’s a bite in the butt when they can’t afford to pay it back due to the tuition and cost to help their children be successful in life. Bernie Sanders presidential runner for the democrat party quoted; Today, it would take a minimum wage worker an entire year to earn enough to cover the annual in-state tuition at a public university.

The women who get pregnant by accident can also become single parents. Children under six years old need a large amount of care cost. Many poor single parents spends about half of their annual income on child care.

More than four out of ten children are living close to the poverty line ()and the government is only helping some. If the government were to supply their programs to every low income family the number could decrease drastically and the economy would also increase.

Out of Ennis High School’s 345 students class of 2013 graduates, 43 of them were disabled. This means that out of every graduating class, about 12 percent of them are disabled. The disabled students have a graduation rate of over ninety percent, which is two percent higher than the state average for non-disabled. However, Ennis ISD has a tendency to hold back their disabled students, especially in kindergarten, where nearly one-third of them are retained, and first and second grade. These retention rates are way higher than the state averages, but this leads to almost all of them graduating, so this policy must be

In addition to the maltreatment of children in foster care, another issue that arises is that children are moved from one foster care home to another on an average of every six weeks (NCANDS, 2012). With the changes in the caregivers of children in foster care experience, the more likely they are to exhibit oppositional behavior, crying, and clinging. With that being said, in 2012, 23,396 youth aged out of the U.S. foster care system without the emotional and financial support necessary to succeed. Nearly 40% had been homeless or couch surfed, nearly 60% of young men had been convicted of a crime, and only 48% were employed. Seventy-five percent of women and 33% of men receive government benefits to meet basic needs.

As young adults, we often believe ourselves invincible, and we act accordingly in our relationships with others. Ms. Mosby even apologized on behalf of her generation for feeding us false ideas about what sort of friendships will make us happy in life. However, I take issue with Ms. Mosby’s approach to beginning relationships, and her explanations about how people form new relationships after experiencing hard time. While it is true that a friend should always be willing to listen and support a person in need, it would be putting far too much pressure on

In 2014 there were 650,000 kids in foster care, that’s almost twice as much as Kansas City’s population of 467,007. Roughly 58,000 of these children were placed in an institution or group home instead of a traditional foster home. While these children will age out of the system 40% of them will find themselves homeless, 50% will have substance addiction, 25% will have not received a diploma or GED, only 3% will have received any college degrees and 17% of the young women will be pregnant. Even before they are blessed with their so called “independence” the average child in foster care will have an IQ 20 points lower than a child not in foster care and 33% of them will have moved elementary schools more than 5 times. The foster care system in

Children born to a married mother and father are about 80 percent less likely to be poor compared to children in single-parent homes. Yet more than 40 percent of children are born outside of marriage in the United States annually (Unmarried, 2016).

Looking at the number of students who have been affected by school closures you can see how there has been in increase in the past decade or so. In 1995-1996 there were about 900 students who were affected by school closures and in 2003-2004 there was about 2000 students who were affected by school closures (NCES, 2010). From the years 2000-2014 there were about 44 schools that were shut down in New York City (Kemple,2016). In May 2013 the Chicago Board of Education voted one closing 47 schools at one time which was the largest school closing in history (CCSR, 2015). There have been a dozen of schools that have closed in Detroit and there is also a push to have around 100 schools close in the upcoming years due to low performance.
