Poverty in America

Poverty and homelessness is a major problem in the American youth. It seems to be increasing rather then getting better. These children who are in poverty are lacking a lot of things. Most of these children's parent(s) have more then one job trying to get as much income they can get. These children and their families struggle to eat nutritious meals let alone even being able to eat each meal every day. For some of these children its hard for them to try to get their homework done, because they have other things to worry about. Some of these children have to take care of the younger children in the family, some have to worry about where they are going to sleep that night, and others are worry about actually being able to get food in their stomach. 

As a teacher I would try to help those students who need the help. I would  take a collection at the beginning of the year to make sure that all my students had the supplies  they need. I would provide them information on different organizations were they could receive extra help. I would make sure all my students know that they are all equal no matter what.
