The paper (p.257)
Use the present tense to indicate a conclusion. Use the past perfect tense in citing references.
The fact is that poverty does exist in this country. Some studies have shown that 21.5% of our children are living in poverty (Bracey, 1999).
Use Arabic numerals → more than ten

The paper (p.258)
When two authors are cited in parentheses, the name are connected with an ampersand.
In their study concerning the effects of poverty on children … , cognitive stimulation parenting style, and physical environment (Guo & Harris, 2000).
An ampersand

The paper (p.259)
A page number accompanies the quotation.
Constantly having to move and . . . “By 1986, the poverty rate in rural areas was 50% higher than the urban rate” (Huang & Howley, 1991, p. 1).

In addition, metal health assistance in the rural community may be limited to a small local mental health center that serves a wide geographic area. Often, the school is the primary resource of professional assistance and physical facilities in an entire community. The school becomes the ‘’hub’’ of the community, so to speak (Fasko & Fasko, 1998).

Perhaps one of the biggest factors in the failure of children from low-income families to
succeed is low or nonexistent self-esteem. Looking ahead to higher education, it can be seen these factors do much to cause attrition, a major problem for our colleges and universities.

Bracey (1999) felt that we were not doing nearly enough. In response to the feeling among some educators that poverty is no excuse for academic failure, he wrote the following:
![Page 12: Chapter 12](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/5681608f550346895dcfb2a8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Poverty, like gravity, is a fact, a condition. Gravity acts on people in profound ways. So does
poverty…. To overcome the effect of gravity and fly requires great effort. Men tried for centuries without success. To overcome the effects of poverty will require great effort, an effort we are not now making. (Bracey, 1999, p.330)
![Page 13: Chapter 12](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/5681608f550346895dcfb2a8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What, then, can be done to stem the tide of the perpetuation of poverty in our society and to give those children and youth who come from lower socioeconomic groups a better chance to succeed? The first step is to pay more attention to our early childhood education opportunities

Feldman(2001) made the following perceptive statement: It is clear that a critical part of closing this achievement gap is to get it right from the start. That’s why we not only need
full-day kindergarten available to all children, but also a national commitment to make high-quality, preschool education, universally available--not compulsory, but accessible and affordable to all– with first priority given to needy children. (p.2708)

This study has helped me to clarify the problem and barriers our children and youth from low-income homes face environmentally and educationally.
