Violence in schools is a symptom.
“…repair the “social context” surrounding youth violence. This meant addressing its root causes, including ‘poverty, racism, poor housing, youth mental health, education, the need for supports for families and youth engagement, and issues arising in youth justice.’”
Why aren’t we repairing the root cause?

The “long-term consequences of child poverty are severe”: they are ‘far more likely than their peers to fail to finish high school, become parents as teens, & experience poverty as adults,’ according to Indivar Dutta-Gupta, President of the Center for Law & Social Policy, in testimony to Congress in July.

In 2022, the child poverty rate spiked to 12.4%, a dramatic increase of 7.2 percentage points from the previous year, according to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. The increase in child poverty resulted in 5.28 million additional children living in poverty.
The #poverty yo-yo: When, thanks to tax credits for families, #ChildhoodPoverty rates plummet to their lowest, then balloon back up to double the rates of the previous year.

It's a wonder that working poor families aren't downright incapacitated by this kind of instability. As a freelancer, I know how much income fluctuation takes its toll on my mental and physical health -- and I don't have children!
I really do feel like there is a poverty bomb looming in the US.
Hello everybody, this is my #introduction #newhere !
My name is Anniek (she/her), and I am currently pursuing a master's degree in #healtheducation and #healthpromotion at Maastricht University. For my #thesis, I am going to conduct a #qualitative #FormativeEvaluation on the #implementation of a #interprofessional #communityofpractice on #childhoodpoverty in #ZuidLimburg. I am looking for some inspiration and real-life experiences in #science as I might want to do a #PhD later, let's connect!
The story of course didn't frame it that way, there was no mention of McCarthy, but I couldn't help but notice that his district was apparently the one large county in the entire United States that hasn't managed to have an uptick in economic activity , biz investment over the last 1000 days or whatever it was... How can that bode well for the rest of an economically struggling country experiencing stagnant #wages, rising interest rates and consumer prices amidst a recession. The only solid economic engine in McCarthy's district is the carbon crisis creating oil and gas industry of course! Sigh... Glad to know he'll be focusing on impeaching border agency officials and looking into Hunter Biden's laptop while his own county has high #childhoodpoverty, low educational outcomes and sinks into a depressed deficit dragged monetary morass.
Joining the migration wave:
I am a #PhDstudent at ANU #australia and a #socialresearcher working on #urban #eviction and #resettlement in #Indonesia. I am also assisting other studies on #childhoodpoverty #statelessness and #criticalparenting. Interested in all things urban #ethnography and #politicalanthropology
