Is it really the lack of availabilty of footwear that keeps Georgia's low or no income kids from attending school?
Usually I tend to believe everything I read, but this I really need a local's perspective on....
I'm sorry. I couldn't get past the opening BS statement in the article to give you my two-cents.
"More than 58,000 Georgia children live in poor or low-income households and are considered homeless."
You're considered homeless if you live in low-income households?! If you have a roof over your head, you are not homeless! WTH?! Just because you are poor and have a home doesn't make you homeless! Growing up, we were VERY poor, but as long as we had shelter, we called it home.
Well, just for some of the others that also can't make it to the second paragraph for whatever reason:
"But statistics don't get to the heart of how a child feels when they can't attend school because they have no shoes. If they don't have shoes, they can't go to school....."
If you have a roof over your head, you are not homeless! WTH?! Just because you are poor and have a home doesn't make you homeless! Growing up, we were VERY poor, but as long as we had shelter, we called it home.
