I have an intense zeal to work as editor or webmaster of the newspaper but I have decided to work on educating the homeless children.
In the article, Helping Homeless Students, Mrs. Mizerek and Hinz discuss the impacts a weak education on homeless children.
In the article, it says, "Overall, the academic achievement of homeless students is poor. Research indicates that 43% of homeless students repeat a grade, 25% are placed in special education, and 50% are failing academically (Bassuk & Rubin, 1987)."
The article goes further and describes the negative impact of the student's performance going so to state that they are more likely to drop out of school. By not having a strong education, these students don't have as a great opportunity of success as other students do.
