dc.description.abstract | Transient children confront many disadvantages, and the reverberating effects influence all areas of their life. With higher levels of disease, more emotional disturbances, unstable and often inadequate living conditions, and poor educational achievement, it is quite obvious that transient children face a difficult and often cruel life. . . . No amount of mentoring or specialized education plans or nutrition classes can overcome all of the obstacles these children face; sadly, many of the issues may be deeper than the school policies can address. Yet this should not dampen our desire to help. While we may not be able to completely reverse the damage that has been done, we can make vast improvements in their lives by improving their educational experiences. The policies recommended can mitigate some of the effects of transience and put the children on the path to a better life. . . . [From Concluding Remarks] | en_US |
