Summary

A Framework for Understanding Poverty provides important insight into the nation's ongoing difficulty educating poor children. Students from impoverished backgrounds at all levels of America's education system achieve success at lower rates than students who are not impoverished. The author, Ruby Payne, suggests that individuals who have experienced generational poverty-that is, individuals whose parents also grew up in poverty-behave in certain characteristics ways that put them at a disadvantage in institutional settings like public school. Payne defines generational poverty as different from "situational poverty, " that is the condition of poverty caused by lack of resources due to a particular event like death, chronic illness, or divorce. The idea is that raising oneself out of situational poverty is easier that raising oneself out of generational poverty
