Eliminating poverty is largely a matter of helping children born into poverty to rise out of it. Once
families escape from poverty, they do not fall back into it. Middle-class children rarely end up poor.
The primary reason poor children do not escape from poverty is that they do not acquire basic mental
skills . They cannot read, write, calculate or articulate. Lacking these skills, they cannot get or keep a
well-paid job. The best mechanism for breaking these vicious circle is to provide the poor with better
educational opportunities. Since children born into poor homes do not acquire the skills they need
from their parents, they must be taught these skills in school.
