Child Poverty in Canada

[zklarer]

Sad and unnecessary! Poverty is created by governments borrowing from private banks at interest rather than the Bank of Canada. Debt has sky rocketted since 1974 when the policy started and the lions share is interest on interest. The Federal Gov't pays banks nearly $200 million each day (>5$ per person). Provinces add more. Look up: "money as debt 2" and "the-crime-of-the-canadian-ban­king-system" on youtube. You’ll be appalled, banker bonuses at the cost of taxpayers and children.

It is not a teacher's fault. Just like it is not the parent's fault. We live in an elitist society; a society that would rather blame victims than help them. The real issues are ignored, as it becomes easier to blame poverty on those that live in it and not on the government that won't implement the programs necessary to eradicate it. The fault lies in those that ignore the issues instead of acknowledging them. Its not up to teachers, or parents, but all of us to fight for what is right.

It is amazing what poor children face in schools

does anyone know this song?

The way to get into an "ivy league" school is to be rich and have a "good attitude".

Actual aptitude has no bearing whatsoever... you could be a fully fledged retard and go to university as long as you're rich and a "good boy".

[bunnyo99]

unfortuantly, poverty exist in every country, no matter how developed it is.

[Douglas1102]

If teachers did their jobs properly there would be no poverty in Canada.

[Douglas1102]

Nope... it's entirely the fault of the teachers.

And you haven't even touched on the problems "poor kids" face at school.

[Douglas1102]

School should have no bearing on your family's income or situation... and it doesn't need to.

The reason this is the main factor(and not just a factor)... is entirely the fault of the teachers.

You could blame other factors... but it always comes back to the teacher.

As long as teachers have immunity from criticism this is always the way it will be.

Nobody wants to admit it, especially the government, because then they would have to do something about it.

As a adult student (in my 30's at school, lived in poverty as a child and left school in grade 8) I recall writing a paper on childhood poverty in Cananda in the early 1990's. I can see once again our Federal Governments prioities are in order and promises are kept.........
