The Impact of Quaity Teaching

The definition of education is:

1. the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university

Teaching in genral

When it comes to urban poverty, receiving education is feasible. However, the quality is the part that is lacking! When it comes to teaching, the teachers are mainly there to receive a weekly paycheck instead of teaching with passion. These teachers simply do not care since the students do not care. The only reason why the students stop caring is due to the fact that they want to learn something that is engaging and interesting. When it is the same played out teaching style that nearly every teacher has, then that is why the students lack engagement. So, if the teachers at these urban's schools become more diversified with the teaching and actually have a desire to make a difference in areas where education is lacking, then this is one step that will make a difference on not only adults' lives, but also the children's' lives.

Now, if we compare the educational system at other countries. Literally, the teachers are completely different than those that teaches in areas of urban poverty. "Nonetheless, seeing their students learning also gives teachers pleasure, which encourages them to work harder no matter what their income." These teachers are needed in these areas because better teachers like these will make  any student want to participate. If the student feel like they work is going unnoticed, then that can also be another downfall between the relationship between the teacher and student. The student needs motivation and if the teacher lack any characteristics that demonstrate passion their occupation, then the students in these areas won't even bother graduating since they already got other struggles to worry about. That is why teachers that do not care about wages, and work due to the fact that they care about the future of  their students is what makes any student later on have a successful career. That is why the article declared, "Besides a student’s family, teachers probably have the greatest impact on student achievement. Since they cannot be easily monitored, they also have a great deal of freedom to pursue their teaching in whatever way they wish.

Teaching in Poor Schools in Urban areas

Lets compare the difference between the educational system between areas with urban poverty and mainly middle class to rich class. "The graduation rate of youths in the poorest fourth of the distribution increased to 9 percent from 5 percent; among the richest fourth it rose to 54 percent from 36 percent." What this quote proves is that those with low income are receiving less education due to the fact that they are barely even graduating from high school. On the other hand, those with a higher income are the ones that are flourishing and are receiving higher and better education,, which isn't to the people in urban poverty. There should not be a discrepancy between incomes. This validates the type of education that the low income people are receiving if they are struggling.

The value of education is greatly underestimated. Education is simply learning more than just ABC's and 2+2=4. There are more things that can be useful or helpful that the students can learn and apply to their life styles.



Teaching in Rich Schools in Rich Areas

For example, one problem in neighborhood areas with urban poverty is all of the diseases that are being spread throughout the communities. This happens due to low income, which prevents a person from affording a treatment that will help solve or treat the disease. According to this study, "People with higher levels of education and higher income have lower rates of many chronic diseases compared to those with less education and lower income levels, according to Health, United States, 2011 – the government’s annual comprehensive report on Americans’ health." So, just by being educated, people will instantly know how to prevent contact with these diseases and learn how to treat it if they do receive it. Educational classes like sex education and physical education covers all types of diseases. However, if people in urban poverty can not receive these educational courses, then that is when they will continue to trap themselves in these horrible living conditions. Due to having knowledge of these children in urban poverty, then, for the teachers, "the students’ needs may increase their effectiveness and thus outweigh their interest in decreasing their workload."

Education pays offs

Therefore, the key to success is fixing the quality of education. The way how that can be fixed is by finding dedicated teachers that want to teach due to how much their care about their students, not teachers that are simply looking for a job. This really do matter because this affects the children's future. So, since there is not that many highly trained professional teachers in these urban poverty neighborhoods, it makes complete sense on why income makes a huge difference on how the quality of the education is being presented. There are educational schools in these areas, but the quality needs to ameliorate drastically in order to make urban poverty come to a dissolution.
