K-State researcher: Poverty is rooted in US education system

  "Another destructive and common stereotype held by teachers is that parents of poor children do not care about their education," Taylor said. "They cite parents' lack of involvement or attendance as a reason. However, they fail to understand that poor parents love and care about their children and their education just as every parent does, and that their lack of involvement or attendance may be due to working several jobs, unreliable transportation or numerous other factors." This is probably the best part of the submitted article. I agree that many teachers think too little of many of the poor families that they supposedly serve.
