Increased absenteeism is one way that poverty affects academic performance. Children from low-income families are more than four times likely to be
absent from school than their peers (Chang & Romero, 2008, p.13).
Sean Slade, Senior Director of Global Outreach at the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) believes that how we fund our
school systems is fundamentally flawed. He writes, "We have established systems that perpetuate and even accentuate poverty. Schools in low
socioeconomic areas are underfunded when compared to higher socioeconomic neighborhoods" (2015).
State legislatures set the standards that decide if a student is eligible to receive vouchers (National Conference of State Legislatures, n.d.). Vouchers, or
O "school coupons," are given to low-income families with students in low-performing schools to help them pay for tuition at higher-performing private or
different public schools.
Those in poverty are also more likely than other children to drop out of school altogether. In fact, students from low-income families are five times more
O likely to drop out of school than those from families with higher incomes (Chapman, Laird, Ifill, & KewalRamani, 2011, p. 6). Unfortunately, young
people who leave school without a high school diploma will find it difficult to find jobs as adults, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
