Money and Peer Pressure

Economy does play a heavy role in a person’s ability to familiarize oneself with literacy. Because economical issues is always the central focus on just about any issue, it then allows to raise the question hat if money is always a problem with certain communities, and they are always in seek of it, then how can they worry about learning to read? Elementary children may not worry too much (even though some children are still aware they have less) but as the student matures, with the focus of “I need money quick” then literacy is obviously on the bottom of the list. Having said that, if the high school student rather make quick cash, as opposed to reading, then is trust between a teacher and student going to make anything better? It seems that outside factors, anything outside of “institutions” are a better way of obtaining literacy. Lirico is in fact a huge factor in obtaining literacy, and to a certain extent, it is through the use of picking up everyday vocabulary that babies began to learn to speak, and even adults. Through reading or hearing a new word do we continue as adults to build on our literacy. Barton does bring up a large aspect of literacy in that it is social. If Billy’s friends don’t want to read, Billy isn’t either; however, Billy and Friends will learn to read in ways that appear to be “cooler” such as reading comics. Lastly, as Johnny Magic and Sporty Spice have mentioned, to achieve the highest point of literacy is almost impossible.
