Generational Cycle Of Poverty Simulation Analysis

148 Words1 Page

Education is the key pathway for individuals to transcend poverty and for a nation to succeed economically and socially. I truly believe that teachers help deliver children from poverty through education and break the generational cycle of poverty. So, it felt like such a coincidence to play the role of a public school teach in the poverty simulation. At first it was difficult for me to visualize my classmates as people suffering from poverty. Then I saw the nametag my classmates were wearing. It had the color picture, name and age of the real person. This changed my perspective to the simulation. It all got too real, too fast.
This paper explains my actions and decisions as the public school teacher and how it impacted individuals, families

  • Poverty Simulation Reflection

    619 Words  | 3 Pages

    When I walked into the room for the poverty simulation, I did not know what to expect. I was told to choose a name tag, and find the spot where my “family” was sitting. Once the simulation started I became aware of what exactly it was that they were trying to teach us. My role in my “family” was the disabled grandfather who was trying to raise his grandchildren with his wife while their mother was in jail for drug abuse. I was unable to do much since my character sheet said I had limited mobility and could not go places very often.
