- The readings which comprise this chapter deal with the impact of the wider environment on schools. All schools exist and operate in an environment, but of course there is wide variation in those environments: To simplify, some schools exist and operate in environments (social, political, economic, physical) which minimize the probability students will realize their potential, while other schools exist and operate in environments (social, political, economic, physical) which maximize the probability students will realize their potential. Provide a detailed yet concise summary of the three ways (one paragraph each) in which poverty and its accompanying social conditions adversely impact students and schools. Make sure to paraphrase or use quotes when necessary.
