Abstract
This paper is trying to find a link between poverty and elementary student’s disruptive behavior in the classroom. It would be ideal to find a way to increase the potential of these students through education and finding a way to make it more important and appealing in the students’ lives. Your abstract is great, and due for someone to research and write a paper about this! I am an assistant PE teacher and my goal is to have my own classroom. I know I have many students and teacher that can relate to this topic you are researching. I believe you should expand: …finding a way to make “it” more important….and how would “it” be more appealing in their lives?
Introduction
In this research paper I am going to look at the relationship between income, focusing on poverty, and the behavior of elementary students. I feel that this is an important area to investigate because of the difference in children that attend college from poverty stricken areas to areas that are better off financially. It is shown that over 80% of higher income children go to college while only 51% of students from lower income areas attend college. (Desilver).
If we can reach out to these children while they are young and instill a desire for education then it can be an overall improvement for lower income areas and society as a whole.
The Term Paper on Why is play with children and their peers important for child development?
Harris (1998) and Pinker (2002) argued that parental influences have been noticeably overstated in terms of their developmental significance upon children. Unlike many ‘traditional’ researchers whom may have considered parental influences to be fundamental to child development, many contemporary researchers, such as; Schaffer, Dunn & Fein, have began to focus their attention much more ...
In New Mexico, the area I will be focusing on, there are over 30% of families living in poverty (Bishaw 2011).
A respect and desire for education will greatly improve earning potential and quality of life for the people living in those areas. I agree that there should be more research in that area, because we need to give all students from every economic situation a reason to achieve. Your introduction is good, it targeted the idea of your research and I can see it bringing in the audience of many areas that can relate to this!
Literature Review
Poverty is in every town in the US and impacts everyone who lives there. I feel that it is important to reach out to the younger children in these neighborhoods to give them a chance to succeed despite their harder life. Education is the key to a successful life. If a child can learn to appreciate education then the quality of life will be improved in the lower income areas. I fear that lower income school districts, however, are faced with more behavioral problems than their higher income counterparts. These behavioral issues will disrupt learning in the classroom and can also make school not feel like a safe and fun environment that children will want to be in. I am not including race in my research, but it is important to point out that 33% of African-Americans in the US live below the poverty threshold (McLoyd).
There is also a higher rate of violence in these areas which have an effect on children. This exposure to children at such a young age can be like PTSD in a child’s development (Spano, Rivera, Boland).
When you compile the fact that 33% of African-Americans have grown up in poverty living in an area plagued with violence it leads to a vicious cycle for that population.
The children in these areas want to learn. As seen in the research done by Rosemary Murray and Rebecca Harland children that were at risks were given a new chance with just some extra tutoring. It is crucial that children get attention from their parents, however, in lower income areas that is not always possible. Many parents in lower income areas have to work longer hours to provide for their children. This leaves them with less time to spend with their children. (Kieff).
The Essay on Current trends in teaching growth patterns of children in elementary school
Elementary schools for children have gained much attention especially in this 21st century. It is believe that the foundations laid at early childhood education have much influence on the whole learning process. It is at early stages that the intellectual development should be monitored, (Zhang, A. , Sayre J. W. , Vachon, L. 2009). The current trends in teaching growth patterns of children in the ...
Studies have shown that the more active a parent is in their child’s school and life the better that child will do in school. (Gutman, McLloyd).
The chances of them straying and turning to violence or drugs also drops. The fact that families in lower income areas may be working longer hours or hours that are not in sync with their children’s schedules makes it all the more crucial that the time those families do have with their children is spent encouraging learning and a good path in life. I have found a record of several young female senior students.
It showed how the students around them formed their opinions of success and shaped what they strove for in school. (Schultz).
It is important that we reach out to all students in the schools to create an environment that promotes learning and the want from its students to learn. The US government also realizes the importance of young children having mentors and adults to spend time with and keep them on the right track. The US government has also noted that poverty leads to higher crime rates. This leads them to try to implement programs that promote marriage and education. Educators in Urban and low income schools also need to remember to not lower their expectations of their students.
Urban schools are responsible for the education of about 40% of all the non-white children in the United States (Szente).
In fact it was shown that, if given the chance, urban children (lower income areas) would do just as well as higher income students in magnet schools (Murray, Harlin).
Violence is also something that children in lower income areas face more often than higher income areas. This can greatly impact younger children and cause ETV which can be similar to PTSD. Studies have shown that children exposed to ETV carry violent behavior throughout their childhood and can go through their adulthood more violent. (Spano, Rivera, Bolland).
Conclusion
I am hoping by looking into the fact that low income schools deal with more behavior issues we can see that these children need more guidance. If we can correct the behavior and get these children interested in learning and school then it will be for the betterment of not only them, but society as well. We need to find a way to increase education in all areas of society because it will lead to less crime and a better all quality of life for all. I think you should elaborate more on your conclusion and sum up the introduction more what you have stated. Methodology
The Essay on Primary Education and School Children
The Government of India in 2001 launched the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), a nationwide programme to provide universal primary education, thereby encouraging secondary education also. The Center passed The Right to Education Act in 1 April 2010, which guarantees free and compulsory education to every child in the 6-14 age groups. But, the lack of awareness on the requirement of pre-school education ...
Hypothesis
My hypothesis is that poverty plays a factor in disruptive behavior from students in New Mexico elementary schools. This leads to a decrease in the amount of students from these areas attending college to create a better future for them. Data
My survey method would be a questionnaire that would be distributed to the parents of 6 different elementary schools. It would take a look at 3 schools in middle-upper income areas and 3 schools in a lower income area (below 40,000 annual household income).
Limitations and Future Direction
In the future I would like to include schools from other areas and states. I would also like to include more variety income by including the higher income areas as well. I would also like to include private schools in the study. This section is great. I see that every school, no matter if public or private should be involved. I can see that each student’s lifestyle and background, no matter if rich or poor are important. I believe that you should have discussed breaking the cycle of generational poverty, and I see the only way to break it is through education.
