What is a good teacher and how does poverty affect the child.
Children are normally affected by poverty in ascertaining learning skills because of the other outside factors.  No parental support, not proper living conditions, lack of nutritional food and lack of medical care.  A good teacher will boost the child's self esteem which will create a personal drive in the student.  Many times I have seen the children become the adults in the family. That along with a good teacher will make a child succeed.
