Recensioner i media

"In The Poverty Problem, Horacio Sanchez sounds an alarm and sends out a call to action. He asks educators to roll up their sleeves and move beyond merely understanding the problem of poverty to taking the lead in creating, implementing, and applying strategies to counter the negative impact poverty has on students’ education. The author helps educators understand that the brain is changing and adjusting due to poverty. This change has a direct negative impact on student learning and behavior. Adverse consequences include issues with language development, resiliency, and stress-related actions. He illustrates how implicit bias associated with poverty and people of color unfairly knits the two together and exacerbates the challenges these students face. Poverty is a major factor impeding the academic progress of students experiencing it. As the author provides a look back into the history of  how America came to "measure" poverty, he shows that it is a force continuing to negatively influence the overall academic achievement landscape in this country. Educators would be wise to keep this book at their fingertips."
