These Families Those Families: Deconstructing the Poverty Argument Beth Harry Equity Forum March 1, 2011

The Poverty Argument Poverty accounts for: Lack of motivation Poor behavior Low IQ scores High drop-out rate Disproportionality in Special Ed

The List of Deficits Ravitch: “It’s poverty” Ruby Payne: family cultural deficit Hart & Risley: family language deficit Berliner: family income deficit NRC: family and environmental deficit

The Big Picture: Societal Structure Deficit Kozol: School structure Racial and income segregation School cultures School resources Anyon: Societal structure Minimum wage Transportation Health care School funding

Missing Link (a): Deficit Defined by Middle-Class Norms IQ score does not equal intelligence Different language register does not equal language skill/ability Different behaviors do not equal behavioral disorder:

Missing Link (b): Poor Kids Get Poor Schools HOW? Funding formulas Lower salaries Weak teachers, administrators Limited curriculum High-stakes testing Quick fixes Low expectations Family stereotyping

Missing Link (c): Family Resilience The facts of poverty are evident Purpose is not to romanticize poverty or poor families; rather to inspire Thankful for the big picture books (Anyon, Kozol, Hart & Risley, Berliner) But I’m going to offer you some close- up pictures of hope, promise, resilience, family strength

Robert: I’m a Gangsta, Tha’s Why!

Silvia: A Very Happy Person

Silvia’s Mom Es una persona muy contenta” Este problema tengo yo - que ya esta grande y no sabe leer nada. Eso es lo que quiero, que ella aprenda a leer, porque sin sabe leer no sabe nada”
