| Abstract | It is clear that the poverty density of schools is related to children’s educational outcomes and yet our educational policies result in an educational system with high concentrations of low-income children in certain schools and or school systems. This paper explores the everyday experiences of low-income kindergarten children according to the poverty density of the schools they attend. Analysis of the experiences the children have such as teacher child interactions indicate that there are both commonalities and differences according to the poverty density of the schools. Knowledge of these similarities and differences can guide future educational policy. | en_US |
