The last issue that Kozol focuses on are the risks poor children face on a daily basis. “Early childhood experiences contribute to poor children’s high rates of school failure, dropout, delinquency, early childbearing, and adult poverty” (Kozol 74). The level of developmental risk that poor children experience varies enormously and it is influenced in important ways by the depth and duration of family ... parents, the availability of social support from outside the family, the place of residence, the resilience of children, and other circumstances. “Poor children are more likely than non-poor children to be low achievers in school, to repeat one or two grades, and to eventually drop out of school.
