[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 505704, member: 6546"] I think that you've hit the nail on the head - There is a PRESUMPTION that low-income families are IGNORANT and ABUSIVE....(because clearly, if they had any sense at all they'd be making a LOT more money.) I think that is exactly the problem with some of these government programs. POOR = STUPID. Therefore, programs are designed at the "DUH" level....and if implementing techiniques designed for "DUH" doesn't work - well, it's because the parents are not cooperating. Nobody is disiplining at the school because they think these POOR stupid kids are basically stuck in a cardboard box at home and fed table scraps - if their parents remember to feed them at all! Therefore, we need an environment where the kids can "escape" all that poverty and feel free to walk around and "just be themselves" without fear of beatings or verbal abuse. And not to get political here - but when we hear politicians like Mitt Romney categorize $400,000 as "not much money"....it's no wonder that our government just DOES NOT GET IT! One can be low-income and still be hard-working, honest, and keep a clean house. [/QUOTE]
