There several differences between Lincoln Community school and my school of Fred Moore. One of the major effects that I have noticed which hurts the proccess of teaching the children of this school is the income of the students's parents. On average the income per capita in a houshold in the year of 2000 were $14,600. In my neighborhood the average income is $24,041. I a child has two parents then the household income would come to $29,200 that is not a lot of money. The reason why the hosehold income is important is that out of every paycheck a certain percent goes towards their school. If the taxpayers are poor then the school is going to be poor, which will affect the students education. One of the ways that education will suffer is the fact that the school won't be able to afford enought teachers. This will result in more students per teacher, the students will not be able to get the attention they diserve. I every student has a question there is no way one single teacher will be able to help them all, so some of the students will not know how to do the work. Since the parents cannot afford to buy their kids crayons and markers the school will end up paying for some but there won't be enough to go around.
