Does a Student's Social Class Affect Their Success?

In the ideal world, all students have equal opportunities to succeed, good schools and educators do their utmost to achieve this goal. However, the social class may have a significant influence on student success, there is a correlation between low socioeconomic status and academic problems. These academic issues can lead to future difficulties including unemployment, dropping out, and low wage jobs.

The child's first role model is usually her parents. They gain clues about potential targets, keys to success, and opportunities that they may be opening from adults where they live. According to Robin Harwood and his colleagues' textbook "Child Psychology", parents who graduated from high school or university tend to do so on their own. Children with high social classes often have parents who have reached these goals, but low children in the social class are unlikely to model these outcomes.

Higher social classes can access materials such as counselors, private courses, private schools, and high-quality public schools. Conversely, children with low socio-economic rank may live in a stressful environment that suffered from poverty with less resources. Articles of 2012 youth and social magazines highlighted that reducing access to such courses may reduce academic performance and reduce opportunities for future success.

The low social class is associated with other factors that may reduce the likelihood of child's success. For example, "child psychology" reports that children with lower social classes are more susceptible to abuse and negligence, susceptible to drug abuse, and are more likely to move frequently. The pressure of these factors can affect the ability of students to achieve good grades at school, thereby compromising the possibility of future success. According to the article of the American Journal of Community Psychology in 2012, children with lower social classes were found to have higher incidence of psychosis and crime.

Children's social class does not determine her life, children from poor backgrounds often succeed, and children from rich background sometimes fail. In 2012 youth and society articles, I emphasize that participating in regional activities such as sports teams and after school programs can reduce the risk of living in poor areas. Likewise, "child psychology" is a social economic class declining by stabilizing the environment of children, such as parenting caregivers to raise parents' skills, eliminating abuse of carers, securing adequate nutrition It can reduce the risks associated with it.

He continues to analyze how the classroom and school work and how it affects student perceptions of the American social class. He talks about the social class of the student, the lower the class, the less likely it is to learn the history of the social class. According to a survey on the Loewen website, "Tears are often surprised if poor children go well, often painful" (p.198). He discussed the chain reaction to admission to excellent schools and universities. In my experience, I saw students who did not receive much support at home actually got more help at school, whether home income or other factors. I think that this situation is changing since Loewen began research. I believe that schools and teachers strive to balance the quality of education and opportunity. Personally, I think that after a certain time or age students should equalize their opportunities and education.
