Thesis Statement:
It is not fair that low-income students do not receive the same educational
opportunities or outcomes as high-income students if they lack access to quality public or private
education, technology at home and in the classroom, and home environments.

disadvantaged children.

Dr. David Arnold teaches in the Psychology and Brain Science Department at UMass Amherst.
Both his undergraduate and PhD degrees are from Dartmouth College. Till 2003, Arnold held the
William T Grant Faculty Scholar title. The Advancing Diversity in Research and Practice
undergraduate program was co-founded by him, and he has published over twenty articles. Even
when low-income students are enrolled for the first time, their parents' positions affect their
educational outcomes. As a result of the information I have gathered, I will demonstrate how the
educational level and income level of the students’ mothers affect the education outcomes for
students.
Carson, E. (1994). Going Private.
Reason, 26
(6), 16-17.
In the United States,
Reason
is a magazine devoted to libertarianism. A foundation called The
Reason Foundation owns and operates
Reason
. Public policy articles are the focus of their
research and publication. Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize winner, endorses the foundation. The
Reason Foundation’s founder is Robert Pool, a MIT-trained engineer. The board has retained him
as a member. Among the topics discussed in the magazine article were the hardships faced by a
mother whose children are attending a low-income school. As opposed to just focusing on
academic struggles, the article discusses social struggles as well. As stated in this article,
socioeconomic status can adversely affect even potential great scholars.
Corrigan, M., Hartle, T. (2007). Helping Needy Students 'Know How 2 Go.'
Presidency, 10
(1), 10- 12.
In the Bureau of Government and Public Affairs of the American Council on Education,
Corrigan is the director of National Initiatives. The
KnowHow2Go
project is also directed by her.
She has co-authored several articles and papers on post-secondary education financing while
completing her master’s degree in Public Affairs at LBJ. In this article, I intend to demonstrate
that lower income students lack access to educational resources necessary to succeed in college.
Furthermore, I plan on using the article to prove that students from lower income families do not
receive the necessary education to gain college acceptance.
Duncan, G. J., Yeung, W.J., Brooks-Gunn, J. (1998). How much does childhood poverty
affect the life chances of children?
American Sociological Review, 63
(3), 406-423.
Using real hard numbers and formulas, Duncan, Yeung, and Brooks-Gunn prove that children
from low-income families have a lower chance of succeeding. Through controlled scientific
tests, the authors were able to examine different aspects of low-income family life and show that
separate tests had the same results as when they were done together. Amond them were test
numbers and relationships between mother and child. As director of the Panel Study of Income
Dynamics at the University of Michigan, Duncan spent 25 years in the field. His current position
is as a professor at UC Irvine. Professor Brooks-Gunn works at Columbia University’s Teachers
College.
Murnane, R. J. (2007). Improving the Education of Children Living in Poverty.
Future of
Children, 17
(2), 161-182.
At Harvard Graduate School of Education, he is the Thompson professor of Education and
society. The National Bureau of Economic Research has also hired him as a research associate.
Murnane received the Spencer, Smith Richardson, and Hewitt awards as well as the Russell Sage
award. A total of nineteen publications have appeared in his work, and his writings on schools,
economics, and educational outcomes have also been published in several other articles and
papers. As an editorial member of several educational journals, Murnane is particularly active in
the publication of
American Journal of Education
. Furthermore, he chairs the Educational
Advisory Board at the Center for Educational Excellence. A study in this paper examined why
children in poverty-stricken areas generally receive lower levels of education than their peers.
Statistics are cited to support his claim that underpaid teachers lack skills, and budget cuts cause
this. This will allow me to demonstrate why these students are not receiving the educational
opportunities they should, and how we can intervene to help them.
Perkins-Gough, D. (2008). Do Private High Schools Help Low-Income Students?
Educational Leadership, 65
(7), 93-94.
It is not just what a student learns in school that goes into his education, as Perkins-Gough
explains. It is also important for parents to be involved and supportive. Schools that are failing
need to be supported as well by the districts. A magazine published by ASCD is
Educational
Leadership.
Founded in 1943, ASCD provides educational programs and services in the U.S. and
around the world. With current trends in education and innovative ideas for educators,
Educational Leadership
is read worldwide. In addition to writing for
Educational Leadership
,
Perkins-Gough has published a number of articles.
