Are you kidding? Poverty is not a function of children. I know a few families who have 8+ kids each, and they make about the same income I do. They have expanded their homes to accommodate larger # of rooms. Their children went to home school and then private school for high school years. All kids received college scholarships for academics first and then were given the rest of the ride for their circumstances. Now granted only 3 of them are in college as of now so there are a lot still at home! Both of these families are richer then most people I know. There is more then a balance sheet to value worth here. These people know how to work together, not expect handouts, and most importantly they have respect for others. > 2. Why do they not have an education? Parents not understanding what an education provides. Parents who are to young to bear the responsibility of raising children. Parents who are so selfish that they only focus on their own run and ignore the children. Single parent who is there so little because she works 1.5 jobs a week to make ends meet.
