More than a third of public school students in Connecticut are in poverty, according to a new bulletin.
As for the rest of the country, the Southern Education Foundation said low-income students are now a majority.
Mississippi led the nation with 71 percent. It was followed by New Mexico at 68 percent.
No longer can we consider the problems and needs of low-income students simply a matter of fairness, wrote Steve Suitts, SEF's vice president.

How do you destroy the USA? Famine.
How do you cause famine? Eliminate parental responsible for feeding our own children. Get every child, and then the adults, dependent on government feeding programs.
What does the government consolidate control? Centralize feedings in "camps". People will voluntarily come.
The "final step"? Cut off the food. In three days everyone will be too weak to resist and they will do anything they are told to do.
Children are only “poor” when there is a dysfunction in the family. The bulletin should have focused on how many kids have dysfunctional families rather than on a vague definition of political buzzword “poor”.
Define “poverty”.
Good post. Poor is relative. Having worked in third world countries I can assure you of that.
We have lighted football fields at almost every high school. Many schools literally have stadiums. Yet many of these same schools graduate students that can hardly read, write or solve simple math equations.
Taxed to death, the rest are wetbacks.
I grew up poor in the 30s and 40s-——if I had what these “poor” people have I would have considered myself wealthy.
I was never hungry though because we did without everything else.
Ate LOTS of potatoes. :-)
