A rude child is a lost child. Because we have evolved into a mostly efficient country, we still have obstacles when it comes to education. According to Lucy Hart, students with lower economic status often face additional problems such as resources, learning conditions and low motivation that negatively affect their academic performance. Families with lower incomes have difficulty providing academic support for their children. They have limited time and financial resources, which makes it difficult to create a good support system. Most parents cannot afford the necessary technology and tutors for their children. “When children do not have a positive learning environment at home, it negatively affects their academic performance at school” (Lucy Hart). This study addresses a number of issues concerning the poor who have less access to education and technology. School environments play an important role in academic success. Limited resources and low academic achievement are all characteristics of schools in lower economic communities. Highly qualified teachers often avoid low-income schools by committing to more prosperous schools. Students with low socioeconomic status find themselves with teachers who often lack experience in their subjects. Lowe surveyed the state's teachers of the year to determine which aspects of the physical environment most influenced their teaching, and these teachers pointed to the availability and quality of classroom equipment and furnishings, as well as environmental features such as climate control as the most important environmental aspect. factors. In particular, teachers highlighted that the ability to control classroom temperatures is critical to the effective performance of both students and teachers. Teachers' Heavy Workloads Create...
