I’ve seen it over and over and over again. My grandparents were dirt poor too. Same as you described. They were immigrants to America. Taught themselves to read in English with the help of their children who were speaking English in a NYC public school. Broke the cycle of poverty by making sure their kids did well in school and succeeded in their new land of opportunity. These kids in my school don’t know what poverty is. Gimme gimme gimme is all they know. If education is important in the home, rich or poor, you will learn and be successful. The buck stops at mom and dad’s home not at this teacher’s desk. Excuses are ruining generation after generation. Teachers’ lives matter 9:05.

To me poor is like my mother and father were as children. They went to bed hungry and to school with holes in their shoes. Just because people are collecting welfare and are on food lines doesn't necessarily mean they have no money. I find many people on the food line with nice cell phones and I see them loading the food into nice cars. Also, they said this holiday season, consumer spending was up. I still question how badly are economy was affected by this pandemic.
