Poverty is the condition of having an insufficient amount of resources or income. There are different type of poverty in the world as categories as following same degree poverty, Absolute poverty, Relative poverty and subjective poverty. Absolute poverty is the case where people lack basic human need, which in commonly includes food, water, sanitation, clothing, shelter, hearth care, education as well information. It is the regarded as the worst type of poverty. Relative poverty is the case where people have low resources or income to sustain basic needs. The poverty has many causes; some of them as following overpopulation, the unequal distribution in world economy, inability to meet high standards of live or high cost of living, inadequate employment and education opportunities, environmental degradation, certain economic and trends and welfare incentive.

Poor children who don't eat a nourishing breakfast will not be able to pay attention in class and so they may become fidgety...

Poverty can lead to low self esteem. Children from poverty stricken homes are quick to notice that other children dress better than they do and they can become embarrassed which can cause them to withdraw in class which creates a bad learning environment.

If there is poverty in the home children are not to participate in some activities which fosters team work and binding with your peers, if there is a cost incurred.

The previous post examines the issue quite well from the student's point of view. From an institutional and structural valence, poverty impacts education in a variety of ways. Initially, areas that are economically challenged can feature sub- standard facilities, such as buildings, grounds, classrooms, and textbooks. Students, especially older ones, begin to see this feature in their educational worlds and it creates for a disparity between the opportunity ideology, which stresses what should be done, and the reality of the situation, stressing what is. Additionally, there is a likelihood that schools which are immersed in conditions which constitute poverty might not be able to place immediate primacy on educational needs, as other and more pressing economic realities might drive the attention and focus of stakeholders. Finally, with standards based educational reform manifested through initiatives such as No Child Left Behind, solutions to help students meet or exceed state standards might not be able to present themselves as readily. For example, if a school is in an impoverished area and cannot afford to do so, tutoring programs and other types of assistance might have to be sacrificed, impacting the overall quality of a child's educational needs.

I reflect on the things I experienced in school so many years ago I can now reflect on some things going right now in our schools. First of all if you have a one parent household that in itself will contribute to poverty. You have the income of one instead of two. With a poverty stricken family I have heard tales of children going to school hungry. I could not even imagine that.

Can you imagine going to school hungry? How much learning and studying are you going to do? Very little. Your primary focus or goal is getting something in your stomach to ease the hunger pangs. If you children consistently go to school hungry in the long run their grades are going to suffer. Poverty can lead to low self esteem. Children from poverty stricken homes are quick to notice that other children dress better than they do and they can become embarrassed which can cause them to withdraw in class which creates a bad learning environment. If there is poverty in the home children are not to participate in some activities which fosters team work and binding with your peers, if there is a cost incurred. Sometimes if there is a one parent home that single parent has to work and is not able to give their child all the attention they need so that child will try to get that attention by any means necessary even if it calls for misbehaving in school. Children from poverty stricken homes can be disruptive in school because they are not being raised or supervised at home and now teachers have to really act as parents for these children. This takes away from the time that teachers should be teaching. In this situation everyone suffers. So we need a remedy for this situation Strong, secure relationships help stabilize children's behavior and provide the core guidance needed to build lifelong social skills. Children who grow up with such relationships learn healthy, appropriate emotional responses to everyday situations. But children raised in poor households often fail to learn these responses, to the detriment of their school performance. For example, students with emotional dysregulation may get so easily frustrated that they give up on a task when success was just moments away. And social dysfunction may inhibit students' ability to work well in cooperative groups, quite possibly leading to their exclusion by group members who believe they aren't "doing their part” or "pulling their share of the load.” This exclusion and the accompanying decrease in collaboration and exchange of information exacerbate at-risk students' already shaky academic performance and behavior. Some teachers may interpret students' emotional and social deficits as a lack of respect or manners, but it is more accurate and helpful to understand that the students come to school with a narrower range of appropriate emotional responses than we expect. The truth is that many children simply don't have the repertoire of necessary responses. It is as though their brains' "emotional keyboards” play only a few notes (see Figure 2.1). Diseases of poverty is a term sometimes used to collectively describe diseases and health conditions that are more prevalent among the poor than among wealthier people. In many cases poverty is considered the leading risk factor or determinant for such diseases, and in some cases the diseases themselves are identified as barriers to economic development that would end poverty. These diseases are in contrast to so-called "diseases of affluence", which are diseases thought to be a result of increasing wealth in a society.
