Final Answer :
blaming students and families for their situations suggesting cause of academic problems are a result of what children lack culturally and materially becoming frustrated with families because they refuse to help themselves or their children assuming family lack of involvement is a result of lack of care for children pitying families in poverty holding a fatalistic view of children in poverty as being more inclined to fail in school failing to encourage children in poverty or hold high academic standards for them
